Abstract
The controversy on “Can the Quantum Mechanical Description of Physical Reality be Considered Complete?” was everlasting for almost sixty years [1, 2]. A clarification was made by J. Bell [3], who showed that any local, deterministic theory leads to a relation called the Bell’s inequality, whereas the quantum mechanics violates the inequality. From 1972–1982, different kinds of experiments performed by experimentalists, gave results that indicated the violation of the Bell’s inequality and were in agreement with quantum mechanics [4]. That the Bell inequality is violated now is generally accepted.
