Abstract

We identify points of difference between Invariant Set Theory and standard quantum theory, and show that these lead to noticeable differences in predictions between the two theories. We design a number of experiments to test which of these predictions corresponds to our world. If these experiments were undertaken, they would allow us to investigate whether standard quantum theory or invariant set theory best describes reality. These tests can also be deployed on theories sharing similar properties (e.g., Penrose's gravitational collapse theory).
