What, if anything, do the nonlocal correlations in the results of EPR experiments indicate with regards to causation? (That is, with regards to whether or not/how causation is [is not] operative in giving the resulting correlated measurements?)

Yeah that article is really well written. It's "bare bones" but does a great job of laying out all of the steps involved. Thanks!

Must be wary, though... as he "uses physics to derive limits on local psychic powers [and] is currently obsessed with quantum tantra which he envisions as a brand new way of doing science." Er... noted...

Thanks lugita15! I'll check it out

"Gut instinct" isn't the only thing, or even the important thing, involved in my take on how nature works. One important thing may be my lack of understanding of the material that discusses QM, however, and this certainly may be (in fact, in many cases, I know it is) the case. I am only...

I agree entirely. Still, it is an assumption that has not been disproven yet in the history of science and our study of nature, so that is why I lean towards it and not the contrary. So, we shall see, so to speak... (hopefully!) Could you point me towards some good papers on this?

What is a sample data set, with regard to what we are talking about? Do you mean a table, like the one in your article? This seems perfectly reasonable to me. The question is: What happens in the interval between when the particles are shot from the source and when they are detected on this...

Cool! Thanks for your responses. Questions are forever arising in my brain, and learning about this stuff has sort of been like crack for me lately- I always want to think and read about it. So, another question, if you don't mind: You say that, "reality is a function of the context in...

Thank you for the analogy. That helped clarify things a bit. I also read the rest of the article. My latest question, then, is (and forgive me if I'm not drawing obvious connections!): Why is "the hidden variables interpretation" made synonymous with "the set of probabilities that one...

Thank you, Dr. Chinese. I am about halfway through the article, and have a question that needs addressing I think before continuing with the rest of the article. You ask: "do A, B and C correspond to SIMULTANEOUS elements of reality?" (Similarly, later you say: "ASSUME that a photon has 3...

Hi, Lately I've been reading up on quantum entanglement, Bell's inequality, and EPR experiments. My question is fundamental, but I'm asking it here because I haven't yet read an explanation that answers this question (that I recall). Take this typical description of what goes on in an EPR...
