Wrong, wrong, wrong.<p>The fist 3 minutes is a misinterpretation of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Paradox [1] and the Bell&#x27;s inequality experiments [2]. (The page he shows is [3].) The experiment don&#x27;t refute Special Relativity, it only &quot;almost&quot; [0] confirms the current formulation of Quantum Mechanics.<p>The first theory that joined QM and SR was the Dirac equation for the electron [4].<p>Currently all the &quot;serious&quot; equations to describe particles mix QM and SR. For more details, see [5]. It&#x27;s difficult to understand, but each column in the table describe a different kind of particle. All the Greek subindex and superindex means that each equation is compatible with SR. (It&#x27;s a very nice notation when you are use to it.)<p>All the calculations in the LHC and other particles accelerators relays in this equations because the particles go extremely fast, so they are very well tested.<p>Then the video gets worse, but I don&#x27;t have time to refute each sentence.<p>[0] I wrote &quot;almost&quot; because I think the &quot;no loopholes&quot; claim is an exaggeration. It closes all the weird and very weird loopholes, but there may be some extremely weird loopholes that no one has imagined. If this were Mythbusters, I think this experiment would be more than enough to put a &quot;confirmed&quot; sign.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;EPR_paradox" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;EPR_paradox</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Bell_test_experiments" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Bell_test_experiments</a><p>[3] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;arstechnica.com&#x2F;science&#x2F;2015&#x2F;08&#x2F;experiment-confirms-that-quantum-mechanics-scoffs-at-our-local-reality&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;arstechnica.com&#x2F;science&#x2F;2015&#x2F;08&#x2F;experiment-confirms-t...</a><p>[4] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Dirac_equation" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Dirac_equation</a><p>[5] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Relativistic_wave_equations" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Relativistic_wave_equations</a>
