摘要：

We point out that the recent experimental realisation by Ou et ad. of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox forces us to choose between two startling alternatives. We either reject macroscopic local realism (as defined in this paper) or accept that quantum mechanics is incomplete. In view of the significance of these implications, a further experiment involving delayed choice measurements and causal separation of measured fields should be considered.
