Bell's Theorem html
pdf
A derivation of the theorem and a discussion of the consequences.
A somewhat subtle topic, but here it is treated in a non-technical
fashion. It assumes knowledge of wave-particle duality such as can
be found in the Double Slit or the Wave-Particle Duality
documents; also assumed is considerable knowledge of the Stern-Gerlach
Experiment, for which there is also a document here. (150k/151k)
