"The simplicity of Bell's proof opens it to everyone, not just physicists and mathematicians."

"So minuscule is the scale of quantum events compared to the actions of everyday life that it's a wonder humans ever found out about the quantum world at all."

"The entire visible universe, what Bishop Berkley called "the mighty frame of the world," rests ultimately on a strange quantum kind of being no more substantial than a promise."

"The pragmatist regards any theory as a mere mathematical machine for generating numbers which he then compares with experiment. A pragmatist is concerned with results, not reality. The pragmatist refu…"

"A universe that displays local phenomena but upon a non-local reality is the only sort of world consistent with known facts and Bell's proof."

"The gist of Bell's theorem is this: no local model of reality can explain the results of a particular experiment."
