What are Bell inequalities?
A set of mathematical equations
A quantum physics concept
A new theory on gravity
A solution to the dark matter problem
Answer
Bell inequalities address a fundamental paradox in quantum mechanics known as quantum entanglement. They highlight the conflict between classical physics, which assumes independent particle behavior, and quantum theory, which suggests that particles can be correlated in ways that violate classical probability. Bell's work challenged the notion of "local realism," implying that the universe may exhibit non-local connections and phenomena that cannot be explained by classical cause-and-effect relationships alone.
