Bell's inequality

Things they just do not have classical values of time or position in space until measured. Because of Bell's inequality it could have been the case that things are simultaneous or that things do not have classical values. Since the first way is not true since we know that Relativity is right so the only thing left is the second.The actual case in hand was thought up by Einstein and it was Bell who showed the predictions of QM are different than classical mechanics. At any rate, we know that time is just this very odd kind of thing. It was already odd with special relativity. It just got even more odd with Bell. Kant thought that reason just can not understand it at all. But with Hegel there is hope since reason can make progress towards understanding.

[How do we know that Relativity is right? By GPS satellites. If Relativity would be off they would be off by a few miles every day.]


The point that lots of people get wrong is they think there is simultaneity.  There was a lecture by Coleman and another by Gell-Mann showing this point that I said up above.
