Yeah, the definition is not very good. Let's see if we can fix it up to make better sense. "Any random variable(s) that would supplement quantum mechanics to make it local and/or realistic." Is that better? . That is better. But it is still vague. The meaning was made mathematically very ...

I suppose we need to know what "...to make it like classical mechanics." means? I assume that it means local and realistic. And what does "parameter" mean? Can 3-sphere topology be a "parameter"? . The sentence you have quoted from Wiktionary is a confused nonsense. &q...

You have to think about what is happening physically. Only "s" originates from the source as a random variable. So only "s" is a hidden variable in your simulation. In the old model, only orientation +/-1 originated from the source. So only orientation +/-1 was a hidden variable...

Ok, thanks. Do you have an online reference for that? I looked around and couldn't find anything about that. From what you are saying, then the polarizer angles "a" and "b" could be considered hidden. I don't think so. From Wiktionary, "Any parameter that would supplement q...

Sigma(a), sigma(b), sigma(s1) and sigma(s2) are all observables so s1 and s2 can't be hidden. The cross products (a x s1) and (b x s2) are not observables but are necessary for the topology. . The word "hidden" is stuck with us because of historical reasons. Sometimes they are called &quo...

I guess I hijacked Joy's thread enough so starting a new thread here about hidden variables. Seems to me the whole point of hidden variables was to show that quantum mechanics is local for the EPR-Bohm scenario. Well, I did that without using any hidden variables. https://sciphysicsfoundations.com/...

The "hidden variables" saga gets even stranger... EPR was claiming that quantum mechanics is incomplete so it needs hidden variables to complete it. So, why did Bell put hidden variables on a classical mechanics scenario? He did it backwards!!!! :mrgreen: I guess I hijacked Joy's thread e...

. I have updated this paper again, with a significantly improved presentation: https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2302.09519 The abstract now reads: Well, the whole problem is "hidden variables" to begin with. Classical mechanics can predict the same as quantum mechanics by using 3 or 7-spher...

. I have updated this paper again, with a significantly improved presentation: https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2302.09519 The abstract now reads: I demonstrate that Bell's theorem is based on circular reasoning and thus a fundamentally flawed argument. It unjustifiably assumes the additivity of expec...

Sabine Hossenfelder, in her 9th of July youtube video about Bell, said that the conclusion is we can either have a) or b), and the nobel was actually awarded for proving that we have either a) or b) a)measurement independence=>violation of local causality b)local causality=>violation of measurement...

Joy: i'd like to see you write a paper about Bell's straight-line inequality and Clauser and Freedman's cosine experimental results, also comparing the latter with Malus's law. (1) In this paper I compare Bell's local model producing straight lines (or the seesaw curve) with the cosine curve predic...

. Richard D. Gill has published another crank "Comment" paper on my work on quantum correlations: https://doi.org/10.1098/rsos.201909. His paper is full of mathematical, conceptual, physical, and logical mistakes, as all of his papers and his silly "challenges" on the subject ar...

The bottom line is, Bell's theorem is based on a hefty dose of cheating and dishonesty. Not to mention aggressive defense and gaslighting by its advocates.

It was von Neumann, inspired by the debate between Einstein and Bohr in the 1920s.

The Quantum Computing Hype Bubble Is About To Burst, according to Sabine Hossenfelder: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBLVtCYHVO8.

Sabine does not say this, but I will say it: Quantum Computing is mostly a fraud, run by some academic and non-academic thugs and gangs!

There is a discussion of Mamas' paper on PubPeer.

Yes, there is. One can find that discussion here: https://pubpeer.com/publications/FFFF0C ... E0E64A0#14.
