Bell's theorem Theorem

Click For Summary

A resource has been highlighted for evaluating claims of violations of Bell's theorem, specifically directing users to a tool that allows them to test these claims. The suggested approach is to challenge claimants to use the "Write Your Own Classical CHSH Strategy" tool, which should demonstrate a violation of Bell's inequality if their assertions are valid. This method emphasizes the importance of empirical evidence in discussions surrounding quantum mechanics and Bell's theorem. The tool serves as a practical means to verify or refute such claims. Engaging with this resource can enhance understanding of the complexities involved in quantum theory.

I just wanted to point out a resource useful for dealing with claims of violating Bell's theorems. You can point the claimant at https://algassert.com/quantum/2015/10/11/Bell-Tests-vs-No-Communication.html and say "I won't believe you unless you can make the 'Write Your Own Classical CHSH Strategy' tool report that Bell's inequality was violated. If your idea is right you should be able to do it.".

Thread 'One does not “prove” the basic principles of Quantum Mechanics'

I am slowly going through the book 'What Is a Quantum Field Theory?' by Michel Talagrand. I came across the following quote: One does not" prove” the basic principles of Quantum Mechanics. The ultimate test for a model is the agreement of its predictions with experiments. Although it may seem trite, it does fit in with my modelling view of QM. The more I think about it, the more I believe it could be saying something quite profound. For example, precisely what is the justification of...
