" Proofs on non-locality almost without experiments. "

After reviewing the argument of Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen (EPR) in 1935, as well as its misunderstandings, and doing the same for the Bell 1964 argument, I will explain how to use Schrödinger’s extension of EPR to give a direct proof on nonlocality without using the experiments of Clauser-Aspect-Zeilinger. I will also explain how nonlocality manifests itself in Bohmian mechanics. This is based on a joint work with Douglas Hemmick and Sheldon Goldstein.
