Is the paper available on vixra? We could avoid anonymous posting.
Perhaps we can start a new topic on these simulation models with http://arxiv.org/abs/1507.00106 as kick-off article.
Actually, the author of the epr-clocked simulation strongly disagrees with Gill's interpretation of the simulation. His own views can be found at the following link:http://www...
"epr-clocked" exploits the so-called coincidence loophole, named thus by Larsson and Gill (2004), see http://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0312035 ...
The fact remains that you have been brainwashed, whether you realize it or not.
Thank you for your answer, Mr. Gill. I've just checked your simulations on RPubs. There is an epr-clocked program, which seems to be of a different brand, exploiting a different mechanism...
The consequence for quantum communication is that we need loophole-free Bell experiments. No data discarding. Fortunately the 2013 experiments of Christensen et al and of Giustina et al already…
There is no place for hysterics in this word.
There is no place for untruthfulness in science.
"You have been brainwashed."Try to be polite, Sir.
"...which we know is impossible in a LHV without data discarding."That is a myth. You have been brainwashed. There is no "data discarding" in this simulation:http://rpubs...
What is the real lesson behind Pearle's model? Reading the simulation code produced by Gill, I wonder what are the consequences of this kind of data discarding/selection to quantum computing...

"Unregistered Submission: ( June 7th, 2015 12:14am UTC )" should read "topological principles".

First, one does not 'take pains' to separate observer and event. The physical separation is between locally real events and nonlocal events -- which defines the measurement problem:An event which is…
The above comments by Gill read like a manifesto of a true believer in Bell.
UnReg ( June 5th, 2015 7:51pm UTC ) seems utterly unaware of the actual content of their papers, and his "argument" is circular.Both Bell's mathematics, and Aspect's experiment, take great pains to…
The system didn't like my cut-and-paste. Long story short, the OP didn't even read the Freedman material.
"Physics has to predict results of experiments, which includes the statistics of coincidences and anti-coincidences of detector clicks."Since when is statistics physical? You have a remarkable…
I'm confused. Please explain.

Fact is, one has to know what the laws of physics are, before writing an algorithm to simulate them. If the topological measurement criteria that Joy proposes are correct, many questions of discrete…

Well, I did not say or imply that the Dirac equation is a (sub theory, not subset) of special relativity. What I did directly say is that the *physical* basis for both special relativity and the…

No, I was not put off by that comment in particular (meaningless as it is, though). I'm just generally put off by crazy people.
Could it be that Peer 5 was put off by the following incisive comment by the above Unreg?"To the topic at hand, for any faults that Joy Christian’s measurement framework may have, he does carefully…
This thread, with its 693 (and counting) comments is a prime example of a complete waste of disk space. PubPeer should close it down.
