Quantum Theory and Pictures of Reality

Schommers introduces the foundations, mostly from a histori-

cal point of view. Eberhard gives an introductory account of

the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox and Bell's celebrated

inequalities. D'Espagnat discusses realism andseparability

and concludes that contemporary physics does not lead to a

definite conception of the world. Eberhard shows how a model

consistent with Bell's theorem can be constructed by ad-

mitting faster-than-light action at a distance. Schommers

discusses the structure ofspace-time and argues that physi-

cally real processes do not take place in but are projected

on space-time. Selleri discusses the idea that objectively

real quantum waves exist and could in principle be detected.
