Abstract

An experiment is proposed to test Bell’s theorem in a purely macroscopic domain. If realized, it
would determine whether Bell inequalities are satisfied for a manifestly local, classical system. It is
stressed why the inequalities should not be presumed to hold for such a macroscopic system without
actual experimental evidence. In particular, by providing a purely classical, topological explanation
for the EPR-Bohm type spin correlations, it is demonstrated why Bell inequalities must be violated
in the manifestly local, macroscopic domain, just as strongly as they are in the microscopic domain.
