gregw2 14 hours ago Didn't Bell rule out the determinism of "hidden variables"? martyalain 13 hours ago The violation of Bell's inequalities does not exclude theories with non-local hidden variables, such as the De Broglie-Bohm theory. The problem is vast enough, the concepts are "fuzzy" enough that we should not forbid ourselves from venturing, with caution, into the back alleys of "authorized" science. It is not impossible that we could find this or that "hidden variable" before arriving at the level where indeterminism becomes objective. The analysis of wave packets using Fourier theory allows us to "mathematically" bring out inequalities analogous to that of Heisenberg. The chaos of the N-body problem (revealed by Poincaré) did not lead him to conclude that the position and speed of bodies were indeterminable, even if practically they were. When the Moon is hidden from my view I prefer to imagine that it is somewhere, in a very precise place, rather than nowhere and everywhere. In any case, there is something to think about and discuss, without any a priori dictate, other than that defined by Karl Popper, essentially: "a scientific theory must be refutable."
