*When they started doing Bell experiments, around 1970, the results puzzled the experimenters. AG*
*I call B.S. on that. Anybody who believed QM was correct got exactly what they expected. Bell thought his experiment would prove that hidden variable theories were right. What's your reference?* *So Bell was wrong in his expectations because he didn't believe in QM? Is that your claim now? More important, since you previously acknowledged that some mystery remains despite what some vector in Hilbert space indicates, what exactly is the content of that mystery? TY, AG * *Note that they had Hilbert space for a candidate explanation, but clearly didn't find it sufficient. Then they tried to close ostensible loopholes,* *Those were loop holes that would have allowed communication between the Alice and Bob measurements, whereas the QM prediction was independent of communication. That's why it was important to close the loop holes. Brent * * such as the usual causality by information being transferred at light speed. But the puzzling result persisted, so they did experiments where a pair of entangled entities were separated beyond causal distance. Why so great efforts to close loopholes when they had those Hilbert space vectors, which according to you, Brent, solves the problem "exactly"? What do you know, that generations of experimenters had no knowledge of? AG* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
