Are There Quantum Effects Coming from Outside Space-time? Nonlocality, free will and "no many-worlds"

Quantum Physics 2018-07-23 v1

Abstract

Observing the violation of Bell's inequality tells us something about all possible future theories: they must all predict nonlocal correlations. Hence Nature is nonlocal. After an elementary introduction to nonlocality and a brief review of some recent experiments, I argue that Nature's nonlocality together with the existence of free will is incompatible with the many-worlds view of quantum physics.
