Why Is the Universe Not Locally Real? How Has It Been Proven?

Three scientists were awarded the 2022 Nobel Prize in physics for proving these theoretical claims with experiments.

John Clauser, Alain Aspect and Anton Zeilinger.

How did these three scientists come to the level with experiments to prove these radical claims of quantum theory, which radically changed our thoughts about the universe?

In regards to the question, "Is the moon still there even when you are not looking at it, " here's a thought, and I would love to hear everyone's response to this: If Quantum Physics has shown that everything is fundamentally energy and everything is connected, which means that there is only one of us here, then that means that everything is "consciousness." Jane Roberts, who channeled Seth many years ago stated as "Seth" that a tree is "aware" of a child that climbs it. A coffee table is "aware" that someone is walking around it. So if everything at any level of existence is "aware" of itself to even a slight degree, would that not mean that my bike and my wife's bike which are both sitting in our storage room in our condo are indeed "there" at this moment. Aware of themselves! Or if you walk in the forest one day and then again the next day and you observe a tree has fallen across the path, would that not mean that the tree has an awareness of itself and exists in it's state to "fall" across the path, even though no one was there to either hear it or even see it fall? Let me know your thoughts on this, please!!

Quantum theory in a nutshell:
Imagine a red ball that's spinning, except it's a pepperoni pizza that's sitting still on a table.

Entangled particles are still connected (somehow) through the past. I believe quantum entanglement and non-locality are telling us something very profound about the nature of time.

This video didn’t exist until I watched it just now. Oops, forgot to take my meds this morning

[kennyfordham]

After stubbing my toe, on the leg of a table, in the dark, I am convinced that the table still existed, even though I couldn't see it. 🤨

Todays lecture is titled "Is the moon there even when your not looking at it?" "Why Yes. Yes it is." Thank you all for coming. Goodnight.

I think the real question should be, does reality matter if there is no consciousness to observe it, and give it value? Both mattering and valuation are mental constructs, without which, they don't exist at all.

The more we learn about the universe the more it looks likely to be a !

Maybe those Apollo crews had to fake the moon missions after all because it's not really there.

[CaptainSkyHigh]

I saw this video last year when it was released, rewatching it now reminds me how interested this content made me, thank you!

[petershoobridge]

If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound ?

[damienhunt]

When did time begin and where does space end?

[antinatalope]

If I close my eyes while driving, is that guardrail or other car locally real?

Science leading into the absurd.

[hallstewart]

The constantly observable gravitational effects are strong evidence that the Moon does not pop out of existence when it’s not visibly observable.

[SlyNine]

It sounds crazy. Because that's not what they mean, and nothing backs up the first two premises you laid out.

[thehumancanary]

Pseudo-scientific waffle! Obviously, the waves and tides would stop if the moon wasn't there! Also, where is the link between Newtonian and Quantum physics? None has been discovered - but the author seeks to meld the two.

If I shut my eyes will my problems go away.

John bell theorem has nothing to do with proving hidden variables theories wrong. Just read his paper or his book. He liked hidden variable theories, in fact, he worked on them on his free time.
John bell only proved that any quantum theory (hidden variable or not) that accounts for experimental results has to be non-local. Nothing to do with hidden variables.

How exactly does Alice know that bob's particle is spinning the opposite direction?

[joey]

It also means our minds are affected by these quantum entanglements since it consists of quantum particles.
