You are the one telling that the Bell’s inequality violation entails FTL influence. Personally, I do not dig on that issue, because I use only Everett QM to evaluate what mechanism predicts. I might try to send a post why I do not follow your critic of Tipler and Baylock, some day.

That would be useful. I was perhaps dismissive of Tipler and Baylock because their analyses were so obviously incorrect -- for different reasons, however.

Nothing is obvious here. The debate is far from finished.

Tipler simply collapsed the non-separable state without realizing that that was a non-local operation.

I would suggest you elaborate on this in your paper. I see the non local consideration, but I do not see any FTL appearing from that. The EPR-Bell type of experience is non local, and bear on non separable entities, but only the collapse makes them into physical FTL/instantaneity.

If you see the non-locality in Tipler's account, why is there still an issue about non-locality? You are the only one obsessed about physical FTL. I have repeatedly stressed that there is no physical FTL or instantaneous transfer of physical information. It is epistemological. As you say, EPR-Bell bear on non-separable states. That is all there is to it. When you interact with a non-separable state you destroy the symmetry and make it separable. There need not be any collapse or physical FTL.


Baylock made valiant attempts to introduce some measurements that were not made in order to show that Bell assumed counterfactual definiteness, but his attempts to reconstruct Bell's arguments in this way were so contrived as to be laughable -- Bell's result does not depend on the assumption of counterfactual definiteness.

You have not et convince me.

Why does Baylock introduce unnecessary references to experiments that were not performed? If you can think of any reason other than a silly attempt to deflect Bell's theorem, then tell me.
