Bell\'s theorem, which side?

So I'm reading wikipedia and they say that Bell's theorem proves any quantum theory must violate either local realism or conterfactual definiteness. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophical_realism

SO,

A. You believe in a theory that violates local realism, and the same theory does not violate CFD.

B. You believe in a theory that violates CFD, and the same theory does not violate local realism.


Which side are you on? A or B?

I'm an A.

Re: Bell\'s theorem, which side?

Does it matter what side of the argument you're on? Since they are both theories they are expecting either to be proven or disproven. If they were facts on the other hand then we would have a serious conflict of interest.

Newton's Third Law of Physics "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction" was only a theory and does not ring true in every case. For example, take suns. In some cases they explode, in other cases they cannot and implode and last thousands of years as black holes, devouring other suns, which is relatively disproportion to the amount of light they gave out in the first place.

See what I mean?

As I understand it, Bell's theorem is proof that you must choose.

Critical thinking would imply that only being given two options is a logical fallacy, and thus cannot occur.

After all, life offers more than one choice.

Your right Rusty, you could completely reject all quantum theories by not making the choice /ttiforum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
