If the Moon Really Is Not there when Nobody Looks

Hongfang Li

The essence of the debate of philosophy about Weather is not the moon there when nobody looks?, involve the objective reality of micro-particles during quantum measure. However, the development of quantum mechanics don't deny the objective reality of micro-particles before observed, and only demonstrate micro-particles be of wave-particle duality. What to by the name of quantum mechanics, steal the concept of idealism, in front of the practice of science, be doomed to fail.

Quantum entanglement, fair sampling, and reality: Is the moon there when nobody looks?

Guillaume Adenier

In 1981 Mermin described a clever and simplified version of Bell’s theorem. He pointed out in a straightforward way that interpreting entanglement from a local realist point of view could be problematic. I propose an extended version of Mermin’s device that can be given a simple local realist interpretation by a sample selection bias. I argue that we still have no scientific reason to believe that the moon could not be there when nobody looks.

Is the Moon There When Nobody Looks? Reality and the Quantum Theory

N. David Mermin

In May 1935, Albert Einstein, Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen published an argument that quantum mechanics fails to provide a complete description of physical reality. Today, 50 years later, the EPR paper and the theoretical and experimental work it inspired remain remarkable for the vivid illustration they provide of one of the most bizarre aspects of the world revealed to us by the quantum theory.
