Bell's inequality and a strict assessment of the concept of ``possession''
Abstract
Description
It is argued that the concept of ``physical quantities possessed by the system'' is both redundant and inappropriate. We have examined two versions of the concept of ``possessed values'': one identical with the observed values and the other non-identical. Assuming the existence of such ``physical quantities possessed by the system'' and subjecting it to the framework of Bell theorem under very generous condition allowing even certain form of ``nonlocality'', one can still arrive at the proper Bell's inequality. With the experimental falsification of Bell's inequality, we conclude that the concept of ``possessed values'' finds no place in proper physical reasoning.
