Are they getting any closer to something that can be built, or is all of this theory? Bell's Inequality is sixty years old and still boggles my tiny childlike little mind. The idea that such an underlying system could ever allow us to do anything useful with anything down on the quantum level is not something I'd have predicted.
Bell's Theorem is pretty black-piling. If Bell's Theorem holds, then either:
it is impossible, even in principle to model reality on the quantum level at all
OR
we're all biochemical clockwork meat robots and the pathway of every particle that makes us up was determined and unchangeable at the instant of the Big Bang, meaning that consciousness, choice, free will, and meaning are illusions
OR
every possible thing that happens does happen, which sort of does allow fur free will but in exchange fur that makes all of your choices meaningless because in another timeline a different version of you is choosing something else right now, and he and his choice are as real as you
The last possibility is "superluminal connections," which sounds neat but if they exist the fundamental nature of the universe and the laws of mathematics ensure no one can use them to do anything at all.
I find everything about every one of these possibilities to be infinitely depressing.
