Let's agree that electrons A and B form a singlet
entangled system. Let's further agree that they are
non separable. What do you do with the fact that
when their spins are measured, they ARE in different
spatial locations, not even space separated in Bell
experiments. How do we deal with this FACT? AG
What do you want me to do with the fact? I learn to
live with facts that I can't do anything about. The
fact that the system is non-local is a fact that you
just have to come to terms with.

*ISTM that when you have a theory that seems correct and
in some sense is well tested, but there are facts which
contradict it, in this case a key fact right in front of
your nose which contradicts it -- the fact that we see as
plain as daylight that the subsystems as spatially
separated -- invariably the theory must be wrong. AG*
I wish you luck with your project to prove quantum
mechanics wrong.

*Right now I have a more modest goal. Starting from the
postulates of QM, how do you justify writing the wf of the
singlet state as a superposition of tensor product states? TIA

*What it's not. It's not the SWE. It's not Born's Rule. It's not
the operator correspondence with observables. AG *
*I suppose it could be traced to the superposition principle; that the
state vector of the singlet state is a linear combination of the
states which are members of the corresponding Hilbert space of the
system. But why are these states tensor product states? AG*
Why try worrying these things out for yourself? The easiest thing is to
go and look up a text book.
