Bill, thank you so much: you went to a lot of trouble to help me. Very appreciative.

Thx bahamagreen. I’ll consider your post very carefully.

That is an excellent answer, and a very accessible explication of Bell’s inequality. Thanks.

Hi Fra, I do have a physics background, but would like to be as non-technical as possible, hence my asking the question very simply and plainly (also, that’s a good exercise, I think, for anyone: to have the philosophical foundations clear in your head). The reason is, as you have guessed, my...

Bill, thank you very much. I greatly appreciate your support.

Lol really, why do you say that?

Thx atyy, especially for the elucidation about Copenhagen. I’m keenly interested in a response to the position, as you put it, that the anti- realism about (some) properties is simply an expression of “ the subjective knowledge of the observer.” I think the evidence for no hidden variable...

Thx Dr. Chinese. I think the position I’m referring to, apart from being part of Copenhagen, is also inherent in the ‘no hidden variables’ view, which is asserted by Bell’s theorem. What I’m looking for is something like a knock-down reply to the objection: ‘It’s just a matter of ignorance. Of...

Hi. I’m a PhD student at University of Toronto, in philosophy of physics. I have a number of questions which are quite fundamental: just trying to get everything clear in my head in the most succinct way possible, so I’m sorry if the questions seem remedial. First question: what is the...
