Bell's theorem
|Mickey Mouse|
2 :The mistake made by Bell and his followers is so absurd and so elementary that I want to bring it out once again, if only to reiterate what I have already said before:
The comments made by Luca Valeri above concern Realism, so let me concentrate on his claim that somehow I have moved closer to compromising Realism.
![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
Let me explain my objection to Bell's absurd argument with the following homely example so that everyone can see the stupidity (yes, stupidity) of the Bell believers:
Let me first define some objects and possible events that I hope everyone will agree are manifestly real (
i.e., they do not compromise Local Realism in anyway):
(1) New York City
![](http://latex.codecogs.com/png.latex?\longleftarrow)
a manifestly Real place.
(2) Los Angeles
![](http://latex.codecogs.com/png.latex?\longleftarrow)
a manifestly Real place.
(3) Me (Joy Christian)
![](http://latex.codecogs.com/png.latex?\longleftarrow)
a manifestly Real person [although some may doubt this claim, we will ignore their cynicism].
(4) I can be in the New York City on Friday the 1st of July 2016, at 1:00 PM
![](http://latex.codecogs.com/png.latex?\longleftarrow)
a manifestly possible, Real event.
(5) I can be in Los Angeles on Monday the 4th of July 2016, at 1:00 PM
![](http://latex.codecogs.com/png.latex?\longleftarrow)
a manifestly possible, Real event.
(6) I can be in the New York City
AND in Los Angeles on Friday the 1st of July 2016, at 1:00 PM
![](http://latex.codecogs.com/png.latex?\longleftarrow)
an
impossibility, in any possible world (a Mickey Mouse).
But the last impossibility is precisely what is being considered by Bell and his followers when they consider the average of impossible events such as
E( a, b, a', b' ) = << A(t)B(t) + A(t)B'(t) + A'(t)B(t) - A'(t)B'(t) >>
to prove their absurd inequalities. These events simply cannot occur in any possible, or even conceivable world. They are absurdities, like the item (6) above.
Consequently, anything derived from considering such absurdities, such as the upper bound of 2 on the Bell-CHSH-type inequality, is also equally absurd. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the notion of Realism, or locality, or causality, or physics in general. Only exceedingly stupid individuals would claim otherwise.
On the other hand, note that it is perfectly legitimate to make a counterfactual statement like:
(7) I can be in the New York City
OR in Los Angeles on Friday the 1st of July 2016, at 1:00 PM
![](http://latex.codecogs.com/png.latex?\longleftarrow)
a manifestly possible, Real event.
But if the Bell believers replace
AND with
OR in this manner, then the upper bound on their Bell-CHSH inequality is 4, not 2, defeating them in their own game!
They obviously do not want you to recognise this, so they lie, cheat, obfuscate, and resort to other academic thuggeries:
