Abstract

The alleged generality of the experimental results against the so-called local realist theories is challenged on two major grounds : first, the “naturalness” of the notorious no-enhancement hypothesis is questioned ; second it is disclosed that the possibility of subluminal information exchanges cannot be ruled out in atomic cascade tests if the emission lifetimes of both photons are taken into account.
