Abstract
A consistent local theory Th(g) extending the quantum formalism is proposed. As a consequence, a realistic and local (“common cause”) interpretation of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen-Bohm ideal experiment can now be given. The extended local theory Th(g) satisfies the Bell inequality τ. An experiment to test the validity of τ ∈ Th(g) is called for, if only as a crucial test against the apparently false conjecture of nonlocality.
