Incompleteness of Bell's theorem

In the paper it is reported that Bell's correlation formula allows an Einstein local hidden variables explanation. The key is the application of Petis integration.

A probability loophole in the CHSH

In the present paper a robustness stress-test of the CHSH experiments for Einstein locality and causality is designed and employed. Random A and B from dice and coins, but based on a local model, run "parallel" to a real experiment. We found a local causal model with a nonzero probability to violate the CHSH inequality for some relevant quartets $\mathcal{Q}$ of settings in the series of trials.

Pauli matrices and 2D electron gas

In the present paper it will be argued that transport in a 2D electron gas can be implemented as 'local hidden instrument based' variables. With this concept of instrumentalism it is possible to explain the quantum correlation, the particle-wave duality and Wheeler's 'backward causation of a particle'. In the case of quantum correlation the spin measuring variant of the Einstein Podolsky and Rosen paradox is studied. In the case of particle-wave duality the system studied is single photon Mach-Zehnder (MZ) interferometry with a phase shift size $δ$. The idea that the instruments more or less neutrally may show us the way to the particle will be replaced by the concept of laboratory equipment contributing in an unexpected way to the measurement.

Stochastic Physical Optics & Bell's correlation

With the use of classical statistical argumentation similar to the one used in e.g. statistical optics, it is demonstrated that in entanglement of photons, a classical realist explanation cannot be excluded by the CHSH measure in experiment.

On an intrinsic quantum theoretical structure inside Einstein's gravity field equations

As is well known, Einstein was dissatisfied with the foundation of quantum theory and sought to find a basis for it that would have satisfied his need for a causal explanation. In this paper this abandoned idea is investigated. It is found that it is mathematically not dead at all. More in particular: a quantum mechanical U(1) gauge invariant Dirac equation can be derived from Einstein's gravity field equations. We ask ourselves what it means for physics, the history of physics and for the actual discussion on foundations.

CHSH and local hidden causality

Mathematics equivalent to Bell's derivation of the inequalities, also allows a local hidden variables explanation for the correlation between distant measurements.

Free particle gauge invariance of the Maxwell equations

In a previous study it was demonstrated that Dirac's relativistic quantum equation for free electrons (DRQM)can be obtained from Maxwell's classical electromagnetic field equations (MaxEq). This raises fundamental issues about the demarcation between the classical and quantum domain and about spin. In the present study it is assumed, however, that the derivation is physically relevant to cases where it is difficult to distinguish between classical and quantum physics. The possibility of operating gauges on electron level is studied in view of the effect on the larger physical scale which provides a means to give experimental support to the presented pre-1900 history challenge.

On the violation of the CHSH network model inequality

In the present paper it is demonstrated that the quantum correlation (2-dim unitary parameter vectors) can be arbitrarily close approximated with a local hidden variables model. Moreover, the CHSH inequality can be violated with the present model. This does not conclusively demonstrate that locality and causality can be restored to quantum mechanics. However, it does show that an experimental search for local hidden causality need not be fruitless beforehand.

Loss of charge in a Lienard Wiechert Potential implies a hidden contraction

In the paper it is demonstrated that a point-like dust in a Lienard-Wiechert potential under the constraint of axial gauging must change its velocity 'beyond' a mere change in direction when a fraction of charge is lost at a point in space-time. The existence of a postulated hidden entity that introduces a Lorentz contraction avoids a concealed contradiction in repeated experimentation with charge loss in point-like dust.

A counter-example to Bell's theorem with a softened singularity and a critical remark to the implicit demand that physical signals may not travel faster than light

In the present paper a counter-example to Bell's theorem is given which is based on common probability densities as standard normal (Gaussian) and uniform probability densities. The reason for violating the Bell inequalities lies in the 'softening' of functions similar to the Dirac delta such that they can be 'hidden' inside a sign function. In addtition, the related demand that that physical signals may not travel faster than light is discussed with the FitzGerald-Lorentz contraction factor.

Multiple Fiztgerald-Lorentz contractions

In a recent paper, Harada and Sachs suggested that the Fitzgerald-Lorentz contraction does not refer to a physical contraction but can perhaps best be seen as a 'currency conversion'. In the present paper, this view is inspected, and it is found, beyond the immediate frame of the interpretation, that the Fitzgerald-Lorentz contraction leads to a contradiction in a system of more than two observers. A possible physical system in which this can occur is a relativistic (ideal) gas or fluid.
