What do the Bell inequalities relate to?

  • Quantum correlations

  • Space-time mechanics

  • Atomic structure

  • Superstring theory

Answer

The Bell inequalities relate to quantum correlations, a phenomenon in which the properties of two or more particles are linked in a way that cannot be explained by classical physics. According to the principle of locality, no influence can travel faster than the speed of light. However, quantum correlations seem to violate this principle as changes in one particle instantaneously affect the other, even when a great distance separates them.
