This is Part Two of the previous lecture with Tim Maudlin (which went obscenely viral). It is the one with Bells theorem in it. Maudlin traces how David Bohms reframing of EPR using particle spin opened the door for Bells 1964 proof, walked through step by step with a simple chart of coin flips: any theory ruling out spooky action at a distance must be deterministic, and no such local theory can match quantum mechanicss actual statistics. We cover common misreadings of Bell — that he assumed determinism (he didnt) and that his free variables require free will (they dont) — and close with the 1989 GHZ experiment, a cleaner, fully deterministic version of the same proof. Along the way: why Einsteins real objection was locality, not indeterminism, and why Maudlin calls the death of locality the most astonishing proof in the history of physics. Part Three is still to come. Stay tuned.
