The Department of Philosophy Colloquium Series presents the following:
The Last Loophole in Bell's Theorem? Why Superdeterminism Probably Doesn't Work
Speaker: Prof. Kent Peacock (Department of Philosophy)
Thursday, December 7, 2023
D630 (University Hall)
Noon - 1:30 p.m.
Superdeterminists believe they can beat Bell by extending the set of common causes for quantum correlations to include the whole universe. This approach is implausible since it demands the ability to specify the state of a physical system with full precision, which comes into conflict with the indeterminacy relations of quantum mechanics.
