Question 04-12-2005, 08:55 PM

From my understanding, Bell's theorem proves the quantum mechanics idea that locality, (one action cannot influence another action instantaneously at a distance) is not true. I can never comprehend the mathematics used to prove these ideas, but I believe they were proving that electrons/particles somehow communicate instantly, and therefore an action involving one electron/particle, immediately influences another--disproving locality. This could be a mathematical error that can't be proven as an error yet, or who knows what else. I am probably way off base. I would like to know more if anyone has a good understandable explanation.


Thank you.
Tina
