Derivation of the Pauli Exclusion Principle
... The Quantum Physics is timeless because a quantum particle disappears in one region of a field or spacetime and appears in another, and so on. There are no trajectories of individual quantum particles. Quantum Physics is about the statistical shapes and their allowed orientations. Such procedure sim ...

SEQUENTIALLY INDEPENDENT EFFECTS 1. Introduction
... Sequential measurements are very important in quantum mechanics. In general, two measurements M1 , M2 cannot be performed simultaneously so they are usually executed sequentially. Thus, they are either executed in the order (M1 , M2 ) or (M2 , M1 ). We may think of (M1 , M2 ) as a sequential measure ...

Bell's theorem
.svg?width=300)
Bell's theorem is a ‘no-go theorem’ that draws an important distinction between quantum mechanics (QM) and the world as described by classical mechanics. This theorem is named after John Stewart Bell.In its simplest form, Bell's theorem states:Cornell solid-state physicist David Mermin has described the appraisals of the importance of Bell's theorem in the physics community as ranging from ""indifference"" to ""wild extravagance"". Lawrence Berkeley particle physicist Henry Stapp declared: ""Bell's theorem is the most profound discovery of science.""Bell's theorem rules out local hidden variables as a viable explanation of quantum mechanics (though it still leaves the door open for non-local hidden variables). Bell concluded:Bell summarized one of the least popular ways to address the theorem, superdeterminism, in a 1985 BBC Radio interview:
