I should add that my latest paper refuting Bell's theorem that is soon to be published in a reputed peer-reviewed journal will be
immune to retraction. As some readers of this forum know, there have been persistent attempts to retract at least three of my published refutations of Bell's theorem over the past decade. But once published, the latest paper, soon to be published, will be
immune to retraction. Indeed, that was one of my criteria for selecting the journal where it will be published. It also addresses all unfounded criticisms of my local model in detail.
I'm afraid that Dr Christian's latest paper may be immune to retraction, but this doesn't make it immune to being wrong! Nor does it prevent publication by others of a refutation.
As long as the author is secretive as to the content, we wait on tenterhooks to see what he has come with this time. I hope it will be available before our workshop and symposium.
I heard on the grapevine that the RSOS editors have received new reviews on JJ Christian's RSOS paper, following their publication of an
expression of concern. I should hope that the author will be (or already was) the first to know their content.
It should be mentioned that the once reputable journal IJTP also published, after peer review,
an IJTP paper by myself refuting
the IJTP paper of dr. Christian. I am surprised that they did not publish a response by the author. He certainly posted a
response on arXiv. It seems they did not wish to arouse any controversy.
