Critical reflections

Alain Aspect, John Clauser and Anton Zeilinger have each conducted groundbreaking experiments using entangled quantum states, where two particles behave like a single unit even when they are separated. Their results have cleared the way for new technology based upon quantum information.
(The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences)

Initially, I did not want to comment on the justifications for this year's Nobel Prize in Physics, because I have written so many times about entanglement, Bell's inequalities, and the incompleteness of quantum physics, that I thought it unnecessary to repeat my observations. But if we are talking about interpretations of the Nobel Prize justifications with which I disagree, then it is not superfluous, but very necessary to repeat other interpretations of quantum mechanics (QM) a thousand times. My criticisms are not of the facts of QM, of the great works of those who have just been awarded the prize, but of their explanation.
