Submission + - Quantum physics and reality part ways
aeoneal writes: Quantum physics says goodbye to reality , PhysicsWeb has announced. Researchers at the University of Vienna have fulfilled John Bell's prediction of violating Bell's inequality. From the article: "[Studies] have ruled out all hidden-variables theories based on joint assumptions of realism, meaning that reality exists when we are not observing it; and locality, meaning that separated events cannot influence one another instantaneously. But a violation of Bell's inequality does not tell specifically which assumption — realism, locality or both—is discordant with quantum mechanics."
The real question, of course, is whether Slashdot is actually here when we're not online. Does a server count as an observer?
