SUMMARY:Louis Vervoort - Bell's Theorem and its Interpretations
DESCRIPTION:Avec Louis Vervoort (doctorant en philosophie à l'Université 
 de Montréal). Cette conférence est présentée par l’Atelier de Reche
 rche Philosophie-Physique.Veuillez noter que cette conférence sera donné
 e en anglais.Résumé : Bell’s theorem highlights the peculiarities of q
 uantum mechanics in a strikingly clear way. The theorem proves the incompa
 tibility of 3 things\, namely determinism\, locality and the exactness of 
 quantum mechanics: at least 1 of the 3 has to be wrong. In the meanwhile e
 xperiments have convincingly shown that quantum mechanics is correct – i
 mplying\, it would seem\, that one has to give up either the principle of 
 determinism or locality (or both) ! But what exactly are Bell’s determin
 ism and locality ? And: are there hidden assumptions in Bell’s proof ?No
 te that Bell’s theorem is maybe the only theorem that would bring a phil
 osophical idea\, the millennia old principle of determinism\, “in the la
 boratory” (it has therefore sparked the term “experimental metaphysics
 ”). I will try to highlight both a few philosophical and mathematical un
 resolved problems.
