چکیده
We reconsider the consequences of the observed violations of Bell’s inequalities. Two common responses to these violations are: (i) the rejection of realism and the retention of locality, and (ii) the rejection of locality and the retention of realism. Here we critique response (i). We argue that locality contains an implicit form of realism, since in a world view that embraces locality, spacetime has properties independent of measurement. Hence we argue that response (i) is incomplete, in that its rejection of realism is only partial.

All experimental tests of the violation of Bell’s inequality suffer from some loopholes. We show that the locality loophole is not independent of the detection loophole: in experiments using low efficient detectors, the locality loophole can be closed equivalently using active or passive switches.
