John Bell, Alain Aspect and the Physics of Quantum Entanglement as Interpreted in the Theory of Entropicity (ToE): A Simplistic Survey of Quantum Mechanics

The Theory of Entropicity (ToE), a recent and radical proposal in theoretical physics by John Onimisi Obidi, suggests that the experimental results of Alain Aspect and the implications of John Bell's Theorem are a natural consequence of its framework, specifically the non-instantaneous nature of physical interactions. 

According to ToE, quantum entanglement is an "entropy-mediated correlation process" that inherently prevents instantaneous communication, thus offering a local explanation for quantum correlations without violating causality. 

ToE on Bell's Theorem and Aspect's Experiments

• Bell's Theorem: Bell's theorem demonstrates that quantum mechanics is incompatible with local hidden-variable theories, implying that "spooky action at a distance" (non-locality) is a real feature of the universe if the quantum predictions are correct. ToE does not dispute the outcomes that violate Bell inequalities; instead, it reinterprets the underlying mechanism.
• Aspect's Experiments: Alain Aspect's experiments in the 1980s were the first to provide strong empirical evidence that Bell's inequalities are indeed violated in nature, confirming the predictions of quantum mechanics and the reality of non-local correlations.
• ToE's Interpretation: The Theory of Entropicity posits to reconcile this by embedding quantum measurement and entanglement within a dynamic, fundamental entropy field that has a maximum rate of propagation, corresponding to the [Einstein's Relativity] speed of light c.
  • No Instantaneous Interaction: A central tenet of ToE is the "No-Rush Theorem," which asserts that all physical interactions, including the "collapse" of a wave function or the formation of entanglement, require a finite, non-zero amount of time.
  • Entanglement as Entropic Correlation: Entanglement is framed not as instantaneous, spooky action, but as a process mediated by the entropic field. The theory posits a finite "entanglement formation time" consistent with experimental observations in attosecond physics, which provides an alternative explanation to quantum non-locality.
  • Local Causality Preserved: By mandating that all information flow and physical effects propagate within the limits of the entropic field (the speed of light), ToE attempts to restore a form of locality and realism that traditional local hidden-variable theories lacked, arguing that the apparent non-locality in standard QM interpretation arises from a misidentification of the fundamental process. 

In essence, ToE proposes that the findings of Bell and Aspect, which are typically seen as proof of non-locality, are actually evidence of an underlying entropic field that governs all interactions and imposes a universal, finite speed limit on all processes, thereby ensuring causality is upheld through an emergent, physically mediated mechanism. 

Further Notes and Expositions

In the Theory of Entropicity (ToE) proposed by John Onimisi Obidi (2025), the work of Alain Aspect and John Stewart Bell is reinterpreted through the lens of a fundamental, dynamic entropic field.

Instead of viewing quantum entanglement as an "instantaneous" or "non-local" mystery as traditionally established by Bell's Theorem and confirmed by Aspect’s experiments, ToE offers the following mechanistic explanations:

1. The Entropic Seesaw Model

ToE introduces this model to explain entanglement: 

• Entropic Bar: Two entangled systems are analogized to the ends of a seesaw connected by an "entropic bar," which represents the underlying entropic field.
• Entropic Threshold: The "collapse" of a wave function (the result measured in an Aspect-type experiment) is viewed as a physical transition occurring when a critical entropy threshold is crossed. 

2. The No-Rush Theorem & Non-Instantaneity

While standard quantum mechanics suggests that measurement effects in entanglement are instantaneous, ToE’s No-Rush Theorem asserts that no interaction can happen in zero time: 

• Finite Propagation: Measurement is a reconfiguration of the entropic field that requires a finite, non-zero duration to unfold.
• Attosecond Delays: ToE claims that the correlations observed by Aspect are not truly instantaneous but are limited by the Entropic Time Limit (ETL). It points to recent attosecond-scale experiments as evidence that quantum state formation takes a finite time (~232 attoseconds), supporting ToE’s rejection of absolute simultaneity.

3. Reconciling Einstein and Bohr

ToE attempts to resolve the long-standing debate over Bell’s Theorem by postulating the following:

• Entropic Non-locality: "Non-local" correlations are actually mediated by the continuous entropic field.
• Dynamical Foundation: It provides the "why" for quantum measurement—traditionally a major gap in the Copenhagen interpretation—by grounding it in entropic dynamics.

In summary, Obidi's Theory of Entropicity (ToE) argues that the results confirming Bell's Theorem (like those of Aspect) do not prove "spooky action at a distance," but rather reveal the universe as a self-correcting entropic computer that processes change at the ultimate entropic rate
