Description

We show that the problem of nonconservation of energy found in the spontaneous localization model developed by Ghirardi et al. [Phys. Rev. D 34, 470 (1986)] is very similar to the inconsistency between the stochastic models for turbulence and the Navier-Stokes equation. This sort of analogy may be useful in the development of both areas
