Commentary: Is the moon there if nobody looks -- Bell inequalities and physical reality

Abstract

Marian Kupczynski(MK)is the author of a controversial paper published (2020) in the journal Frontiers in Physics. The work is built around a mathematical claim by MK which is actually false, and MK's logical reasoning around his claim is also incorrect. The same claim was made by him in several other recent papers published in other journals. A proof that the claimed result is false is the main content of our present "Comment". It is purely a mathematical counter-example to a mathematical claim in a number of MK's papers.

4 pages. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:2208.09930. The overlap is with a much longer preprint containing much extra material, and which the authors are submitting to another journal
