Interaction time

The passage around this formula

…quantities — distances between mass A’s branches and mass B’s branches — and relational quantities do not change when you change which system you have designated the reference frame. Write $\varphi_{ij}$ = G $m_A$ $m_B$ t / ($\hbar$ $d_{ij}$) for the phase a pair of branches i,j $\in$ \{L,R\} accumulates over interaction time t at separation $d_{ij}$ , with G Newton’s constant and $\hbar$ the reduced Planck constant. Three of the four possible combinations of these branch-pair phases can always be removed by a purely local…
