Summary

This document is page 333 of a text (likely a book chapter titled 'Free Will') included in House Oversight files. It discusses quantum mechanics, specifically the conflict between Einstein's 'hidden variable theory' and John Bell's inequality. It details how experiments by Freedman and Clauser in 1972 supported quantum mechanics over Einstein's view.
