Just as the thermal equilibrium between two relatively receding (c<v<2c) cosmological horizons is justified by inflation, such a Higgs phase transition could account locally for correlations violating the Bell inequality through superluminal (c<v<2c) "signaling."

The concept of local inflation causing a violation of Bell's inequality is an interesting and thought-provoking idea. It suggests that the phenomenon of inflation, which is typically associated with the rapid expansion of the early universe, could also have implications for the behavior of particles and their correlations on a smaller, more local scale.

The comparison to the thermal equilibrium between cosmological horizons is intriguing, as it implies that inflation could be responsible for creating a sort of "equilibrium" between particles that allows for superluminal signaling. This could potentially explain the violation of Bell's inequality, which states that no local hidden variable theory can reproduce the correlations predicted by quantum mechanics.

However, it should be noted that the concept of superluminal signaling is still highly debated and has not been conclusively proven to exist. Additionally, the idea of a Higgs phase transition causing this type of behavior also requires further investigation and evidence.

Overall, the idea of local inflation causing a violation of Bell's inequality is an intriguing and potentially groundbreaking concept, but it requires further research and evidence to fully understand its implications.

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
