Tim Maudlin puts it bluntly:Bell concluded that violations of the inequality demonstrate that the worldis not locally causal, i.e., that these phenomena cannot be reproduced byany theory which postulates only locally defined physical states whichcannot influence states at space-like separation. . . Philosophers of physicshave been wont to question this conclusion. . . Bell was, however, quitecorrect in his analysis. Statistics such as those displayed by the photons [inan EPR scenario] cannot be reliably reproduced by any system in whichthe response of each particle is unaffected by the nature of themeasurement carried out on its distant twin. The photons remain “incommunication” no matter how great the spatial separation between them.Instead of trying to deny these non-local (i.e., superluminal) influences, weshould begin to study the role such influences must play in generating thephenomena.
