Total misrepresentation of the problem, Asshat.

Bell's theorem does NOT say that God plays dice!

Bells theorem says that Either Quantum Mechanics OR Relativity is WRONG!
Both cannot be correct.

So which do you believe, Sam? Does God play dice or is Einstein a moron?

Is there some reason you insist on linking to videos? Are there no
straight text representations of the material you want to present to
the group?

It does, sort of. In terms of Einstein's colloquialism, it says that
He not only plays dice, He throws them where even He doesn't know what
spots they show until *we* look at them.

"Belief" should not be a factor in science. Since even the most
rabid quantum entanglement proponents cannot demonstrate FTL
information transfer it's probable that both are correct *but
incomplete* and we are just trying to parse reality incorrectly.
Again.

Often there are transcripts (but not in this instance). I realized
early on that I am a visual thinker. Diagrams and equations in
textbooks are a superb way of communicating. For example, in the
introductory chapter of Griffith's Introduction to Quantum Mechanics,
the diagrams are beautifully done.

Videos, I will admit, are fleeting and not something one can dwell
on, but their best effect can be in the form of review or to spark
a question or idea that is pursued after the fact.

The physics in many videos is pretty brief and watered down, but
hopefully, for the layperson (I'll avoid the use of kooks and
cranks) that hang out in science newsgroups, the level is a decent
match for the uneducated wishing to learn something.

Yes, and one can ponder them at length without having to hit a
"pause" button at exactly the right time.

Worse, much of the information is in the audio portion of the
presentation which can be a severe distraction to others in the room
(not to mention to the viewer), and headphones are still an awkward
workaround.

Besides which, not everyone has or wants the capability to watch
youtube what with its constant need for upgrades and hogging of
computer resources.

Sorry, I'm a "hard Buddhist". I prefer my teachers to teach at the
highest level of their understanding, not to "dumb down" for the
benefit of the hard of thinking.

If you insist on continuing to link to videos, please link only to
those that can be viewed without having to listen to them.

I forgot that mankind is the "highest" and "most intelliegent" and "most
powerful" beings in the universe. Sorry.

Mark, we are not talking science here, but Wormley's "science" where
belief is not only a factor but the ONLY factor!

Mark, That would be because these posts are done by a group of Sam's
"students" for him in his name, and being modern American college
students and products of the public school system, none can read and can
only look at pictures. Let's call them "visual thinkers"...

The problem Sam, is that you are like one of those dogs that bark at
everything and nothing. But one still has to go see what he's barking at
before you tell him to shut up!

You must realize, all of YouSA indeed, we can ignore Tweets from a
mere 60 seconds ago, who gives a relative WTF about 60+ or a 600+ or a
6000* years ago. Don't follow the math, friend the MaimStreamedMedia.

I was referring to the colossal arrogance of the usual requirement
that a human must be on hand to collapse a wavefunction,

where is your humility when you declare that it is certain that the
world is deterministic?

no-one is going to make God look open the box & look
at teh remains of teh cat; yuck.

God throws tetrahedral dice, at a minimum,
unless God needs a necessarily binary outcome, or
the Great Potato.
