Hossenfelder on Superdeterminism

[Alan Grayson]

Is she for or against it? AG

Is the free will assumption she refers to, the belief that Bell experimenters are free to set the observing angles of their detectors? If that's the case, how would or could one delete this hypothesis in a Bell experiment?  AG

If gravity isn't a force, why is there an ongoing effort to unity it with the other three known forces?  It seems like an impossible task, doomed to failure. AG

Maybe the other gauge forces are not entirely forces as well.

Hossenfelder wants to delete the free will hypothesis from Bell experiments. Assuming one could do that, although I don't see how that could be done, but assuming it can be deleted, would that change the probabilities measured by Bell experiments? AG

[Alan Grayson]

She might mean to assume the detector settings were set when the universe began, and not determined by the experimenters. But why would that solve the enigma of non-locality? AG

[Alan Grayson]

Or is her idea tantamount to the claim that the universe is NOT irreducibly random, and there exists a sort-of non local hidden variable that implies a deterministic interpretation of QM? AG
