A "Spoof Loophole" Contra Nonlocality

TL;DR

This paper introduces a local realistic model that explains Bell test experiments without nonlocal effects, challenging the conventional interpretation of quantum nonlocality by exploiting a loophole in the experimental logic.

Contribution

It presents a novel local model that reproduces quantum correlations, questioning the assumption of inherent nonlocality in quantum mechanics.

Findings

The model reproduces Bell inequality violations without nonlocality.

It highlights a loophole that could undermine the interpretation of quantum entanglement.

The approach offers a new perspective on quantum foundations.

Abstract

A model for experiments testing Bell Inequalities is presented that does not involve nonlocal effects. It constitutes essentially a physical explanation of a "loophole" in the logic of these experiments, which, if not excluded, in principle nullifies the conventional conclusions, namely, that some kind of nonlocal interrelationship is intrinsic to quantum mechanics. The mechanism of the model "spoofs" the results predicted by conventional analysis employing quantum principles, without, however, using any of them.
