Bell's Theorem is dependent on the following two premises:

  • Realism - Some aspect of a particle exists before measuring it.
  • Locality - All communication is confined by the speed of light.
  • Since the Bell Inequality is violated in experimentation it implies that either premise 1 or 2 are false. If some aspect of a particle doesn't exist before you measure it, then there wouldn't be anything for you to measure, so it must be premise 2 that is false. However, premise 2 is the most fundamental premise of general relativity, and so QM and GTR can't both be true. This is the EPR Paradox. EVERY MODERN THEORY THAT ATTEMPTS TO UNIFY PHYSICS IGNORES THIS PARADOX including QFT, and String Theory. As a result, such theories contain this contradiction, and thus by definition they will never give a logically accurate representation of reality. We can resolve this paradox in two ways but understanding the reasoning requires more tools than are typically used in physics such as formal systems. If you are interested in the solution, I recommend reading the abstract and section 1.1 of the linked article. Thanks for any feedback. Preprint THE FRAMEWORK OF EVERYTHING (FOE)
