Superdeterminism

[6]In the 1980s, John Stewart Bell discussed superdeterminism in a BBC interview:[7][8] There is a way to escape the inference of superluminal speeds and spooky action at a distance.

[9] Nobel Prize in Physics winner Gerard 't Hooft discussed this loophole with John Bell in the early 1980s: I raised the question: Suppose that also Alice's and Bob's decisions have to be seen as not coming out of free will, but being determined by everything in the theory.

[10]According to the physicist Anton Zeilinger, if superdeterminism is true, some of its implications would bring into question the value of science itself by destroying falsifiability: [W]e always implicitly assume the freedom of the experimentalist...

[11]Physicists Sabine Hossenfelder and Tim Palmer have argued that superdeterminism "is a promising approach not only to solve the measurement problem, but also to understand the apparent non-locality of quantum physics".

[12] Howard M. Wiseman and Eric Cavalcanti argue that any hypothetical superdeterministic theory "would be about as plausible, and appealing, as belief in ubiquitous alien mind-control".

[4] Gerard 't Hooft has referred to his cellular automaton model of quantum mechanics as superdeterministic[14] though it has remained unclear whether it fulfills the definition.
