Dear Dr. Weinberg:
With regard to quantum theory and "paraphysics," enclosed is a
recent paper by Stapp at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory which I find
of interest. He disengages Bell's Theorem from the hidden variable
arguments and emphasizes its basic implication that "no theory of
reality compatible with quantum theory can allow spatially separated
parts of reality to be independent," a result experimentally tested
and confirmed in the experiments of, for example, Friedman and
Clauser (Phys. Rev. Lett. 28, 938 1972). In the experiments of
Friedman and Clauser we have the extreme form of confirmation
which establishes on the microlevel of individual quantum events
the existence of correlated space-like separated events, a phenomenon
which our experiments indicate may be occurring on the macrolevel.
It is of course a long way to bridge the gap between observations
at the micro and macro level, but the argument that our observations
are incompatible with physical laws in principle is definitely negated.
Hoping you find this interesting, I remain
Yours truly,
OAP 7)
