Reconciling local realism and quantum physics: A critique to Bell

Claudio Garola

Joy Christian

In this paper, I respond to a critique of one of my papers previously published in this journal, entitled “Bell’s Theorem Versus Local Realism in a Quaternionic Model of Physical Space.” That paper presents a local-realistic model of quantum correlations based on a quaternionic 3-sphere, taken as a physical space in which we are confined to perform all our experiments. The critique, on the other hand, considers two entirely different models within a flat Euclidean space, neither related to my quaternionic 3-sphere model. It then criticizes its own flat space models and claims that it has thereby criticized the model presented in my paper. Along the way, without providing evidence or proof, it claims that the results in my paper are based on mistakes. I demonstrate that there are no mistakes of any kind in my paper. On the contrary, I bring out a number of elementary mathematical and conceptual mistakes from the critique and the critiques it relies on.

Bell's inequality proofs have been interpreted as demonstrating that quantum mechanics is incompatible with local realism. However, a new interpretation has been proposed that suggests that Bell's inequalities can be reconciled with local realism if we consider causality to be a property of classical space, rather than of the quantum world, ruled by probabilities.The linear flow of time is a subjective model of causality created by the human brain resulting in subjective interpretation of time travel into the past.
