Maybe so, but if I were in your shoes, scouting out and enlisting the services of an experienced GA-based game developer would be a top priority. A way imo to finally break free of all that hearburn from continual argumentation and recriminations back and forth with your foes. A valid, 'real world' simulation in some ways better than an actual experiment, given those annoyances mentioned earlier can be cleanly excised.

It is probably pretty trivial to extend the simulation Joy mentioned to what you are talking about. Just a lot of coding work. The problem is that the Bell fanatics don't even accept this simple correct simulation for the EPR-Bohm scenario so for sure they are not going to accept something more complicated let alone trying to get it peer reviewed. If the real macroscopic singlet experiment is successful, then they will have to accept that upon someone else confirming it.

It's not a simulation of your proposed macroscopic 'exploding balls' experiment. An actual physical model (3+1)D, pixel-by-pixel, frame-by-frame evolution from moment of 'explosion' through to final point(s) of detector record(s). Assuming the fidelity of GA programming passes peer-review, that series of 'see-it-in-action' simulation runs, if confirming your theories predictions, is I suggest what will impress sceptics. Just 'one further step' after that. And you would surely then get the funding for that step quite easily.

Most followers of Bell are not physicists, and they have no understanding and/or interest in general relativity or spacetime geometry.

Correlations owing to EPR-Bohm experiments are assumed to be and in practice found to be independent of spatial separation of components.
On the other hand, the effect from particles or whatever coupling to a postulated intrinsic, uniform spatial torsion must obviously accumulate with distance in an essentially linear manner! You can't see that presenting an immediate issue?

Not at all. Distance between the particles have nothing to do with the predicted correlations. They only depend on the angle between the detector directions a and b.

The standard position though is there is simply no appreciable torsion present to effect an EPR-Bell type experiment, correct?

Once a peer-verified sim cracks it, the impetus will be there to go the final step and fund a physical version.
Surely that's a better way to 'get even' with the Bell Mafia than continually forum sparring with them.

Best I know, nonzero torsion as it relates to 'empty' space, only exists as an alternate formulation to the standard semi-Riemann curvature formulation of GR. Hence needs presence of appreciable gravitating mass. The only other manifestation of torsion as an uniform intensive property afaik is that of chiral media - e.g. certain sugar solutions. All that having been brought up before but got nowhere. How any of that could relate to EPR-Bell type experiments is beyond me.

If the experiment is successful, Joy doesn't have explain why space has unique spinor properties. Well... he doesn't have to explain it anyways; S^3 topology is a postulate. But we will then know that something is up with space that wasn't realized before. And you can bet there will be a whole bunch of new papers on arXiv trying to explain it. :D

Indeed. And afaik gyros, pendulums etc. always behave according to Newtonian dynamics based on space being flat, homogeneous, isotropic, and achiral. Any appreciable departure from that standard paradigm would have shown up in many situations, a long time ago, you might think.

The main stumbling block for me to take that seriously is your insistence a physically real torsion is needed and is SOMEHOW present in that purely classical Newtonian setup.
In another recent thread, when asked to explain what the source of this torsion was (in general, not tied to this experiment), you said spin. And that the source of spin was torsion. Not at all enlightening since there was never an attempt to tie down WHERE this spin/torsion existed. Was it just code for the obviously localized spin of a quantum particle? Was it some property inherent in space itself? I got the impression from all your previous talk it was the latter. But NEVER was there a clear, simple explanation as to exactly the what and where and how of this 'torsion' that was so necessary to explain the correlations. No-one else in the anti-Bell camp invokes it.

In the proposed experiment, the only source of spin is obviously that pseudo-randomly generated in each half-shell, owing to 'spot' weights. You wish to call that 'torsion', or at least the source of torsion? That would be a unique nomenclature. If there is some mysterious torsion permeating space that somehow couples to the 'ordinary' equal and opposite spins (more accurately, angular momenta, since there is nothing integer/quantized in this case) of those half-shells, PLEASE EXPLAIN WHERE AND HOW.

Run me through with it Joy. Provide a clear explanation of what your torsion IS exactly, WHERE it resides exactly, and HOW it works it's magic to provide correlations beyond purely classical limits, as claimed. In the proposed classical mechanics experiment. No, not by pointing to a mass of equations in one of your papers, but with clear wording. The essence of Einstein's equations can and have been so reduced: http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/einstein/node3.html
No 'baffling with BS' there. Concept in a nutshell - no advanced undergraduate level specialist maths needed.

Besides, my proposed experiment may never be actually performed. The politically powerful Bell Mafia will make sure that it is never actually performed.

I could never figure the rationale for even trying. And doubt anyone would seriously consider trying to prevent it being performed. Joy has many times claimed that QM is all of:
1: Local
2: Deterministic
3: Realistic

Joy is not claiming that QM is that way. He is claiming that Nature is that way. IOW, because of Bell's theory people are claiming that QM predicts Nature is non-local and non-realistic. A bunch of nonsense. Recent experiments with classical EM waves indicate that Joy might be correct. The experiment should be done to find out for sure. The main reason we don't see the effects in everyday life is because macroscopic singlet scenarios are very unusual.

The Bell fanatics don't want it done because if successful, then Bell's theory is wrong for sure.

Hence, imo one therefore looks to the hidden assumptions in the lies, damm lies, and *statistics* side of things to find a resolution.
