These are Max Planck's words.

The fact is that the quantum community has revised the Einstein side of the EPR argument to fit their desires for the past 75 years. I think the TRUTH is a better approach. When someone says that Einstein said something, that something should be what Einstein said. Bell's 4 dimensional...

YOU are the one who brought up Aspect!

But that is the whole point - for Einstein, it was not hidden.

With 10% efficiency on photon detection, the total inability to determine how many photons are involved, and the total inability to determine the energy involved, it is absolutely amazing that anyone concluded anything. I do not blame Aspect; he was not the one making the incredible claims...

No, if Einstein's Principle of Local Action is not valid, then neither is experimental science.

No "hidden variables" were needed. All Bohr had to do in order to complete QM was admit the calculated (unobserved) variable - Einstein claimed that if he could predict it with probabiliy 1, then the calculated (unobserved) variable was an "element of reality", that is, it was as valid as the...

Dehmelt's Penning trap capture of an electron, which in Dehmelt's words was "drastically at odds with the famous Physicist Heisenberg's claim that an electron truly at rest could not be localized and could be found anywhere in space." This totally blows away QM. The Aspect experiment is used...

EPR never said ANYTHING about hidden variables - if you can find one instance of EPR talking about hidden variables, I will give you my car. All the best John B.

Please clarify for me - does QM satisfy Einstein's Principle of Local Action or does it not? You can't sit on the fence forever. All the best John B.

In "Do we really understand quantum mechanics? Strange correlations, paradoxes and theorems." by F. Laloe, Laboratoire de Physique de l'ENS, LKB, 24 rue Lhomond, F-75005 Paris, France, Laloe explores the meaning of "element of reality": "3.2 Of peas, pods and genes When a physicist...

Of Einstein, Podolsky, Rosen, Bohm and Bell I have yet to encounter a proponent of quantum theory who has even a basic understanding of the EPR gedanken experiment - but I guess Bohr did give absolution to quantum people from having to understand anything. Most think that it has something to...

When does the demystification part of it start?

QM is antiscientific Einstein's Principle of Local Action has never been violated and it is clearly at odds with QM: Principle of Local Action In 1948, very early atomic age, Albert Einstein was in the twilight of his career. He published an article in the journal Dialectica. He hoped that...

I assume from your answer that the Principle of Local Action which "characterises the relative independence of objects far apart in space (A and B): external influence on A has no direct influence on B" is in agreement with QM and that QM is a local theory. The experiments are being done...
