In 1964 John Bell published a paper titled “On the Einstein Podolosky Rosen Paradox” , in which he examined the consequences of hidden variable theories, as they had become known. In essence, his work found that such a theory could not be constructed and still give predictions consistent with quantum mechanics. And quantum mechanics was doing very well under experimental scrutiny. In fact, he found out that hidden variable theories would even be in contradiction with special relativity. It can only be speculated what Einstein would have thought of this had he been alive at the time. Since then, experiments have time and time again been in agreement with both … Continue reading Joseph John Fernandez
