DESCRIPTION:The properties of the tiniest particles of nature (atoms\, mol
 ecules and sub-atomic particles)\, are described by the theory of quantum 
 mechanics. Often\, quantum mechanics is said to require a reconsideration 
 of our rules of logic\, as if "quantum logic" were something else. A theor
 em by particle physicist John Bell is then used to "prove" that no local\,
  classical\, deterministic theory can exist to explain quantum behaviour. 
 However\, there is reason to doubt whether that is true. Lecturer will dem
 onstrate that systems exist that are classical and quantum mechanical at t
 he same time. Our world of elementary particles\, described by the "Standa
 rd Model"\, could be such a system\, but how could it disobey Bell's theor
 em?
