Abstract

In this classic paper, reproduced with the author's permission, Felder describes a proof-by-contradiction of Bell's theorem. This is the theory which states, ?No physical theory of local hidden variables can ever reproduce all of the predictions of quantum mechanics.? Felder invites the reader to look for assumptions that may have crept into his line of reasoning (on author's web site).
