The following is a contributed topic on known quantum paradoxes
(but no `quasi-paradoxes', please!)
\subsection{Quantum Paradoxes and Bell's Inequalities}
There are two major known quantum `paradoxes':
\begin{enumerate}
\item The Scr\"odinger's cat paradox, often expressed as the ``Scr\"odinger's cat is neither dead nor alive'', but in fact meaning something quite different;
\item The \PMlinkexternal{EPR `Paradox'}{http://planetphysics.org/?op=getobj&from=lec&id=119}; several solutions of the EPR `paradox' have
been produced:
1. Interpretations of experiments with polarized laser beams
favor nonlocality in quantum systems and in the known, physical Universe thus suggesting that the assumptions of the EPR paper are the problem and that there is no paradox;
2. An \PMlinkexternal{Unified Local Field Theory (ULFT)}{http://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0102101} also claims to solve
the EPR `paradox' by assuming locality--which obviously conflicts the polarized
laser beam experiments' interpretations.
\end{enumerate}
