One of the comments at the site finally cracked a little bit of light for me on Bell's theorem. To quote from the comment: "What his theorem says is that the world can not simultaneously be local and have hidden variables. His own position was that it seemed exceedingly likely that the world was non-local and that there were hidden variables (such as where is the photon at any given time)." I don't know why, but I kept imagining non-local scenarios and thinking, "This seems like it should be OK, so I don't understand what's going on". Having it spelled out is tremendously helpful. I still don't understand what's going on, but at least I don't feel completely crazy ;-)
