Can Bell’s Prescription for Physical Reality Be Considered Complete?
نویسنده
چکیده
An experiment is proposed to test Bell’s theorem in a purely macroscopic domain. If realized, it would determine whether Bell inequalities are satisfied for a manifestly local, classical system. It is stressed why the inequalities should not be presumed to hold for such a macroscopic system without actual experimental evidence. In particular, by providing a purely classical, topological explanation for the EPR-Bohm type spin correlations, it is demonstrated why Bell inequalities must be violated in the manifestly local, macroscopic domain, just as strongly as they are in the microscopic domain.

6 Can quantum - mechanical description of physical reality be considered in complete ?
In loving memory of Asher Peres, we discuss a most important and influential paper written in 1935 by his thesis supervisor and mentor Nathan Rosen, together with Albert Einstein and Boris Podolsky. In that paper, the trio known as EPR questioned the completeness of quantum mechanics. The authors argued that the then-new theory should not be considered final because they believed it incapable o...
متن کاملCorrelation functions, Bell’s inequalities and the fundamental conservation laws
I derive the correlation function for a general theory of two-valued spin variables that satisfy the fundamental conservation law of angular momentum. The unique theory-independent correlation function is identical to the quantum mechanical correlation function. I prove that any theory of correlations of such discrete variables satisfying the fundamental conservation law of angular momentum vio...
متن کاملBell-Boole Inequality: Nonlocality or Probabilistic Incompatibility of Random Variables?
The main aim of this report is to inform the quantum information community about investigations on the problem of probabilistic compatibility of a family of random variables: a possibility to realize such a family on the basis of a single probability measure (to construct a single Kolmogorov probability space). These investigations were started hundred of years ago by J. Boole (who invented Boo...
متن کاملBell’s inequality: Physics meets Probability
In this review we remind the viewpoint that violation of Bell’s inequality might be interpreted not only as an evidence of the alternative – either nonlocality or “death of reality” (under the assumption the quantum mechanics is incomplete). Violation of Bell’s type inequalities is a well known sufficient condition of incompatibility of random variables – impossibility to realize them on a sing...
متن کاملNon-Kolmogorov probability models and modified Bell’s inequality
We analyse the proof of Bell’s inequality and demonstrate that this inequality is related to one particular model of probability theory, namely Kolmogorov measure-theoretical axiomatics, 1933. We found a (numerical) statistical correction to Bell’s inequality. Such an additional term ǫφ in the right hand side of Bell’s inequality can be considered as a probability invariant of a quantum state φ...
