Abstract

It is demonstrated that the local theory of hidden parameters can be disproved without recourse to high-efficiency detectors.

Local Hidden Variable Theory of Quantum Mechanics that is not Disproved by Bell’s Theorem

Henok Tadesse

In this paper the mystery of local hidden variable theory of quantum mechanics that is not disproved by Bell’s theorem is proposed. These ‘hidden variables’ are fundamentally inaccessible to physical experiments. It is not something physicists ever dreamed of.

Comments on "Disproof of Bell's theorem"

Florin Moldoveanu

In a series of very interesting papers [1-7], Joy Christian constructed a counterexample to Bell's theorem. This counterexample does not have the same assumptions as the original Bell's theorem, and therefore it does not represent a genuine disproof in a strict mathematical sense. However, assuming the physical relevance of the new assumptions, the counterexample is shown to be a contextual hidden variable theory. If Bell's theorem's importance is to rule out contextual hidden variable theories obeying relativistic locality, then Joy Christian's counterexample achieves its aim. If however contextual hidden variables theories are not considered genuine physically theories and Bell's theorem's importance stems from its ability to be experimentally confirmed, then Joy Christian's counterexample does not diminish the importance of Bell's theorem. The implications of Joy Christian's counterexample are discussed in the context of information theory. Version 2 note: Subsequent analysis disproved the mathematical consistency of Joy Christian's model. This paper was based on the assumption of the mathematical validity of the model. Except for the addition of this note, the content of this paper was not modified in any other way.

Inclusion of time in the theorem of Bell

N. David Mermin

I explain in elementary terms why time-dependent effects, including time-correlated hidden variables at the detectors, do not invalidate a simple version of Bell's theorem involving two detectors with 3-pole switches and red and green lights.
