Computer gamers help a team of physicists to close the "freedom-of-choice" loophole that fails the Bell test experiments to entirely negate Albert Einstein's theory of local realism. The participation ...

Physicists once treated Einstein’s picture of a clockwork universe as the gold standard for what “reality” should look like, with objects carrying definite properties whether or not anyone is watching ...

In the early 1960s the physicist John Bell dreamt up one of the most profound experimental tests ever imagined. While on sabbatical in the US on leave from CERN, he had been contemplating the ...

While Bell inequalities have been proven to be an optimal tool for ruling out local realism in quantum experiments, scientists have now shown that inequalities can never be optimal for tests of ...

Researchers working at Delft University in The Netherlands, have succeeded in closing the two loopholes that have prevented proving that local realism does not hold at the quantum level. The ...

A new experiment uses superconducting qubits to demonstrate that quantum mechanics violates what’s called local realism by allowing two objects to behave as a single quantum system no matter how large ...

The paper discusses the recent literature on abstraction/idealization in connection with the "paradox of infinite idealization." We use the case of taking ...
