No local reality can explain the type of world we live in.

Nick Herbert

A universe that displays local phenomena but upon a non-local reality is the only sort of world consistent with known facts and Bell's proof.

Nick Herbert

Physicists continue to debate whether Bell's theorem is airtight or not. However, the real question is not whether Bell can prove beyond doubt that reality is non-local, but whether the world is in fact no-local.

Nick Herbert

Non-local influences do not diminish with distance. They are as potent at a million miles as at a millimeter.
Non-local influences act instantaneously. The speed of their transmission is not limited by the velocity of light.
A non-local interaction links up one location with another without crossing space, without decay, and without delay. A non-local interaction is, in short, unmediated, unmitigated, and immediate.

Nick Herbert

Bell himself managed to devise such a proof which rejects all models of reality possessing the property of "locality". This proof has since become known as Bells theorem. It asserts that no local model of reality can underlie the quantum facts. Bell's theorem says that reality must be non-local.

Nick Herbert

The gist of Bell's theorem is this: no local model of reality can explain the results of a particular experiment.
