All your pixie is, is an ad-hoc mechanism, an unfalsifiable 'epicycle', not actually consistent with either classical or quantum theory. Which proves my point, the only device you can think of is some contrivance, nobody has come up with something any more explicit. To claim that the magic...

The point is that they don't actually measure an orientation, they observe the results of an interaction and make the mistake of assuming it is a measurement of orientation. The information available from the result is a denial, not a bivalent determination. All you can say of a photon emerging...

I don't think you can dismiss the non-bivalence of spin measurements by simply alluding to 'discussion'. If they are not bivalent, then Bell's theorem fails and cannot be applied. The fact that Bell's theorem requires locality, does not automatically mean that the only answer is non-locality...

Bell did not actually show how a faster than light influence could reproduce the (very simple) correlation relationships of quantum systems. Nobody has done so, the 'influence' is left a mystery. The faster than light hypothesis is just an ad-hoc supposition that would allow a non-local hidden...

When a photon/matter particle departs a double slit apparatus, it has (whether we know, or not, what slit it has gone through) changed its momentum. A component is added across the direction of travel, in the plane of the slits. If you plot that momentum pattern, it has the form of a Fourier...

John Murphy here, Gill1109 pointed out this discussion to me and I thank him for that. I put it to you that I do understand Bell's theorem, and that I am not wrong about there being simple assumptions built into the model of measurement, and the logical inferences one can make from the...
