- Abstract: This article discusses the main aspects related to Bell's inequality, both theoretical and experimental. A new derivation of Bell's inequality is also presented, which stands out for its mathematical simplicity. The exposition is mainly intended for undergraduate physics students, and places special emphasis on clarifying the meaning and scope of Bell's theorem in the context of the Einstein-Podolski-Rosen experiment.

special perspective on quantum mechanics [0.0]
The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox that argues for the incompleteness of quantum mechanics as a description of physical reality has been put to rest by John Bell's famous theorem.
We discuss several variants of the Bell inequalities and explore the ways in which they demolish the arguments in favor of local hidden-variable theories.
We also examine the roots of Feynman's attitude toward Bell's theorem in the context of Feynman's special perspective on quantum mechanics.

Bell's theorem proves that quantum theory is inconsistent with local physical models.
In the last decade, the investigation of nonlocality has moved beyond Bell's theorem to consider more sophisticated experiments.
This review discusses the main concepts, methods, results and future challenges in the emerging topic of Bell nonlocality in networks.

Theory aimed to violate Bell's inequalities must start by giving up Boolean logic.
"Hard" problem is to predict the time values when single particles are detected.
"Soft" problem is to explain the violation of Bell's inequalities within (non-Boolean) Local Realism.

Bell's experiment description assumes the (Quantum Mechanics-language equivalent of the classical) condition of Locality.
This result is complementary to a recently published one demonstrating that non-Locality is necessary to describe said experiment.
It is concluded that, within the framework of Quantum Mechanics, there is absolutely no reason to believe in the existence of non-Local effects.

We show how to overcome this problem by considering a special case of our generic inequality that can be experimentally tested point-by-point in time.
