I think that last paragraph is right.
If everything shares some weak correlation with the stuff around it, then it might experience 10^-6 or whatever perturbation experiment to experiment, and accordingly the runs deviate according to some statistics about the system. Or the state of the early universe. Or something we don’t understand.
- aeternum 4y agoA correlation with only the stuff around it however does not solve the problem. Bell's inequality shows that the choice of the experimenter must be be able to affect particles separated by lightyears. Either the experimenter's choice is an illusion (super-determinism), or somehow partial quantum states can be propagated at fast than light speed.
- zmgsabst 4y agoCan you give an example of what you mean?
- aeternum 4y agoIf you take two entangled photons, send each a light year away in opposite directions. Now an satellite (which are 2ly from one another at each endpoint measures the polarization). Each satellite measures the spin along a specific axis. The correlation in spin measured by the two satellites is dependent upon the difference in angle of the two measurements. Correlation with the local stuff around each satellite isn't enough. Somehow, the choice of measurement angle seems to be non-local (transmitted at large distances and at greater than light speed).
