“Bell's theorem says that reality must be non-local.”

Context: Bell himself managed to devise such a proof which rejects all models of reality possessing the property of "locality". This proof has since become known as Bells theorem. It asserts that no local model of reality can underlie the quantum facts. Bell's theorem says that reality must be non-local.

“A universe that displays local phenomena but upon a non-local reality is the only sort of world consistent with known facts and Bell's proof.”

“The simplicity of Bell's proof opens it to everyone, not just physicists and mathematicians.”

“The gist of Bell's theorem is this: no local model of reality can explain the results of a particular experiment.”
