Original Data from Bell's Experiment

[owl3951]

Should have read the "Loopholes" thread first...

I guess you realize that Bell didn't do the experiments himself. The landmark experiment was done by Alain Aspect and collaborators in 1981.

Here is the paper you should read to start with:

A. Aspect et al., Experimental Tests of Realistic Local Theories via Bell's Theorem, Phys. Rev. Lett. 47, 460 (1981)

I would be surprised if there is a "raw observations database" available but there is considerable data in the paper references above.

Thank you for sharing the original data from Bell's experiment. It is always valuable to have access to the raw data in order to analyze and understand the results of an experiment. However, it is important to note that the data alone cannot fully explain the phenomenon observed in the experiment.

After reading the "Loopholes" thread, it is clear that there are some potential flaws in the experimental design and data collection process that may have affected the results. As scientists, it is our responsibility to critically examine and address any potential loopholes in our experiments in order to ensure the validity and reliability of our findings.

In light of the potential loopholes, it would be beneficial to further investigate and replicate the experiment using more rigorous methods to confirm the results. Additionally, it may be helpful to consider alternative explanations for the observed phenomenon and conduct further experiments to test these hypotheses.

Overall, while the original data from Bell's experiment is a valuable starting point, it is important to continue to question and analyze the results in order to fully understand the underlying mechanisms at play.
