<div>Hi Richard:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>As to your question about minds clanged shut: keep in mind that the amount of funding and reputation hanging on the conventiaonal "entanglement" story is nonlocally distributed over virtually the whole of the quantum optics enterprize! People are human; nobody is born a scientist!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Best, Al</div>
<div> </div>
<div>P.S: It's not predicted by QM; but, by just by Bell-analysis. Stay tuned, there may be a surprise in the works. </div>

<div>Hi Al and all,</div>
<div> More on the Delft Bell-test experiment. The article was published in Nature on 21 October. It was just summarized at <a href="http://www.opli.net/opli_magazine/eo/2015/loophole-free-bell-test-tu-delft-crowns-80-years-old-debate-on-nature-of-reality-einsteins-spooky-action-is-real-oct-news/" target="_blank">http://www.opli.net/opli_magazine/eo/2015/loophole-free-bell-test-tu-delft-crowns-80-years-old-debate-on-nature-of-reality-einsteins-spooky-action-is-real-oct-news/</a> . A quote "<span style="color: rgb(55,18,135);font-family: Calibri , helvetica , sans-serif;font-size: medium;background-color: rgb(255,255,255);">PhD-student Bas Hensen, lead-author of the study. “We also close the detection loophole, because in this experiment we measure all our entangled pairs. This is the first time all loopholes are closed at the same time in a single experiment, and we still find that the invisible bond between the electrons is there: the first loophole-free Bell test”. </span></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(55,18,135);font-family: Calibri , helvetica , sans-serif;font-size: medium;background-color: rgb(255,255,255);"> </span>Are minds clanging shut and is this idea (predicted by QM) becoming a dogma so that other possible explanations are still being ignored? Or is the experiment (and the Bell inequalities derivation) really airtight?</div>
