The violation of the Bell inequality has a schizophrenic status in physics. To many of the physicists I know, Nature’s violating the Bell inequality is so trivial and obvious that it’s barely even worth doing the experiment: if people had just understood and believed Bohr and Heisenberg back in 1925, there would’ve been no need for this whole tiresome discussion.
Seriously, I am none the wiser and cannot yet make sense of what they are saying. China apparently is putting this experiment in space - are they winning a game on prediction of one particular bit with > 75% probability, and if so, can they run that game numerous times to get that probability close to 100%, and if so, can the random inputs to each side be made not random so that the result of the game is transmission of information? I cannot begin to answer any of these questions sorry...
Me, I like the many worlds interpretation. But it's just an interpretation. What matters is the math.
That sounds much more interesting than the implications of 'dull' said to be arising from qubits :) The hope is that since some say the experiment is pretty dull to begin with, then perhaps there is a soul alive who could answer the above questions... we can only hope.
