The Violation of Bell's Inequality Represents Nothing
Abstract
The Bell's mathematical formulation for EPR paradox, especially Bell's inequality, had interested many physicists and philosophers. We revisit the famous formulation and investigate the related arguments, just from a mathematical point of view. We find: (1) there is a key assumption inconsistent with the general hidden variable theory; (2) the mutual independence between measurements has been thoroughly neglected in the past decades; (3) the inequality involves three pairs of particles, not as generally imagined to measure only a pair of particles. The findings could provide a new glimpse into the old and hot issue.
Note: Some new observations are included.
