Bell's theorem represents a significant advance in understanding the conceptual foundations of quantum mechanics. The theorem shows that essentially all local theories of natural phenomena that are formulated within the framework of realism may be tested using a single experimental arrangement. Moreover, the predictions by those theories must significantly differ from those by quantum mechanics. Experimental results evidently refute the theorem's predictions for these theories and favour those of quantum mechanics. The conclusions are philosophically startling: either one must totally abandon the realistic philosophy of most working scientists, or dramatically revise out concept of space-time.

Abstract: The principle of causality occupies an important place in the history of the philosophical interpretation of quantum mechanics from the beginning. In last consequence, today’s Copenhagen dominated acausal interpretation of quantum mechanics casts doubt upon traditional views in the philosophy of nature and demands the revision of the principle of causality at a fundamental level of theoretical description in physics. Testing the mathematical and logical consistency of the quantum mechanical description of nature i. e. especially such as non-locality has become a subject of an ongoing dispute and research. Today, quantum-mechanical concepts i. e. such as non-locality refer to some mathematical foundations, especially to Bell's inequality and the CHSH inequality. Experimental data, analyzed by the help of Bell’s inequality or the CHSH inequality favor a quantum mechanical description of nature, over local hidden variable theories (often referred to as local realism). In general, the use of mathematically inconsistent methods can imply a waste of money, time and effort on this account. Under some certain conditions (the assumption of independence) Bell's theorem and the CHSH inequality are already refuted. The purpose of this publication is explore the terra incognita, the interior logic that may lie beyond Bell's original theorem and the CHSH-inequality and to refute both, Bell's original theorem and the CHSH-inequality under any circumstances by the proof that we can derive a logical contradiction out of Bell's inequalities. Thus far, accept Bell's theorem or the CHSH-inequality as correct,
