Abstract
It is shown by using a rather elementary argument
in Mathematical Logic that if indeed, quantum theory
does violate the famous Bell Inequalities, then quantum
theory must inevitably also violate all valid mathematical
statements, and in particular, such basic algebraic relations
like 0 = 0, 1 = 1, 2 = 2, 3 = 3, . . . and so on ...
An interest in that result is due to the following three alternatives
which it imposes upon both Physics and Mathematics
:
1) Quantum Theory is inconsistent.
2) Quantum Theory together with Mathematics are inconsistent.
3) Mathematics is inconsistent.
In this regard one should recall that, up until now, it is not
known whether Mathematics is indeed consistent.
