What If We Live in a Superdeterministic Universe?

What is the main idea behind realism in quantum mechanics?

• Reality is a construct of the mind.

• Reality exists independently of observation.

• Reality is an illusion created by quantum particles.

• Reality is subjective and depends on observation.

How do quantum superpositions behave according to the introduction?

• They are always in a state of collapse.

• They exist in a single state regardless of observation.

• They remain in multiple states until observed.

• They do not exist in the physical world.

What does the EPR paradox challenge in the realm of physics?

• The theory of general relativity.

• The concept of time travel.

• The existence of black holes.

• The speed of light as a cosmic speed limit.

What did Einstein refer to as 'spooky action at a distance'?

• The instantaneous influence between entangled particles.

• The behavior of black holes.

• The expansion of the universe.

• The bending of light around massive objects.

What does the Bell theorem test in quantum mechanics?

• The existence of parallel universes.

• The speed of light in a vacuum.

• The behavior of black holes.

• The validity of local realist theories.

What does a violation of the Bell inequality suggest?

• A challenge to the concept of locality or realism.

• The existence of time travel.

• A confirmation of local realism.

• The presence of dark matter.

What is a key feature of super determinism?

• It supports the idea of multiple realities.

• It suggests a conspiracy of interactions.

• It denies the existence of quantum entanglement.

• It supports the independence of measurement choices.

What does super determinism question in the context of the Bell theorem?

• The existence of parallel universes.

• The independence of measurement choices.

• The speed of light.

• The nature of black holes.

What was the purpose of the Cosmic Bell test?

• To measure the speed of light in different galaxies.

• To find evidence of time travel.

• To test the limits of local realism using cosmic objects.

• To prove the existence of black holes.

What did the Cosmic Bell test use as proxies for Alice and Bob?

• Distant stars.

• Nearby planets.

• Artificial satellites.

• Deep-sea creatures.
