Bell's theorem does not rely on that.
- jayd16 7y agoCan you explain how? Wikipedia states: >With the measurements oriented at intermediate angles between these basic cases, the existence of local hidden variables could agree with/would be consistent with a linear dependence of the correlation in the angle but, according to Bell's inequality (see below), could not agree with the dependence predicted by quantum mechanical theory, namely, that the correlation is the negative cosine of the angle.
- akvadrako 7y agoWhat that sentence says is: Bell's theorem predicts the linear dependence of the correlations angles - or at least it's consistent with such a model. It's not an assumption of the theory. Also keep in mind we don't observe linear correlations - at least one of the assumptions of Bell's theorem must be wrong.
