What it actually tests about reality — explained step by step

Part 18 of the Learning Quantum Physics series.

Most introductions to Bell’s inequality jump straight to jargon: entanglement, hidden variables, locality, realism. The result sounds mysterious before you even know what the experiment looks like.

That is backwards.

Bell’s theorem is really an answer to one plain question:

Can the correlations we see in quantum experiments be explained by particles carrying local, predetermined answers to every possible measurement?

This article builds that question from scratch — no prior quantum mechanics assumed.
