So is this argument the triumph Einstein's over quantum mechanics? Not entirely. Three decades later, John Stewart Bell demonstrates that no theory in which the values of all dice under the cups are already determined before looking under one cup can make the same statistical predictions as quantum mechanics. This means: if Einstein is right, quantum mechanics is not only incomplete, it is simply wrong. And the different predictions of quantum mechanics and the "Einstein Theory" can be tested by experiment.
