What Do These Correlations Know About Reality? Nonlocality and the Absurd
N. David Mermin
Abstract
In honor of Daniel Greenberger's 65th birthday I record for posterity two superb examples of his wit, offer a proof of an important theorem on quantum correlations that even those of us over 60 can understand, and suggest, by trying to make it look silly, that invoking ``quantum nonlocality'' as an explanation for such correlations may be too cheap a way out of the dilemma they pose.
