- Title
A Loophole in Bell's Theorem? Parameter Dependence in the Hess-Philipp Model.
- Authors
Myrvold, Wayne C.
- Abstract
The hidden-variables model constructed by Karl Hess and Walter Philipp is claimed by its authors to exploit a ‘loophole’ in Bell's theorem; according to Hess and Philipp, the parameters employed in their model extend beyond those considered by Bell. Furthermore, they claim that their model satisfies Einstein locality and is free of any ‘suspicion of spooky action at a distance.’ Both of these claims are false; the Hess-Philipp model achieves agreement with the quantum-mechanical predictions, not by circumventing Bell's theorem, but via Parameter Dependence.
