It has been shown that if the world was composed of normal objects,
super luminal speeds would be required to explain certain experimental
results. Therefore, if we do not accept super luminal speeds we must
abandon an object space atomic structure as our sole description of
reality.

The chrome ring representation put forward in Take 6, when applied to
the hydrogen atom is not disimilar to the quantum hydrogen state 2. Of
course, with reference to take 6, saying that an electron is a particle
with mass outside the atom and a wave function inside the atom is a
description solely designed to more correctly represent atomic
structure. An electron shot from a source becomes wavelike over time in
a manner that is proportional to its linear velocity by a factor "x".
At its destination, say a phosphor screen, the wave function collapses
and the electron quanta illuminates the phosphor atom.

It is the collapse of the wave function that is regarded as super
luminal. However, this view does not consider a mechanism inside the
phosphor atom that would explain the event beyond an event conveniently
described as a "jump".

What does the passage of a single electron interfere with? Nothing? So
the Airy wave pattern must depend on the target receptive capability.

If the phosphor atom absorbed the electron quanta at the speed of
light, a wavelength parameter within the phosphor atom could absorb a
wavelength portion of the total wave energy proportional to the wave
frequency at the speed of light. The wavelength-frequency absorption
would be a function of the phosphor atom.

The Airy wave pattern may reflect a selectivity of the phosphor atom
similar in principle to the wavelength selectivity noted in the photo
electric effect. Such a local mechanism expressed purely as a wave
function absorption would render moot Bell's Theorem.

That has not been shown at all.

We do not - see http://quantum.phys.cmu.edu/quest.html

'Is quantum mechanics nonlocal? This depends on what one means by
"nonlocal." Two separated quantum systems A and B can be in an entangled
state that lacks any classical analog. However, it is better to think of
this as a nonclassical rather than as a nonlocal state, since doing
something to system A cannot have any influence on system B as long as the
two are sufficiently far apart. In particular, quantum theory gives no
support to the notion that the world is infested by mysterious long-range
influences that propagate faster than the speed of light. Claims to the
contrary are based upon an inconsistent or inadequate formulations of
quantum principles, typically with reference to measurements.'

It is good practice to base your ideas on the facts rather than
misconceptions.

Rest snipped.
