dirtymac: "Physicists keep coming up with extremely weird theories to prove something they do not know or understand, all within the realm of ‘could’."

I like that, "realm of 'could' " -- sounds like a sort of reverse or anti-purgatory, a place for spirits of somewhat good people, who never quite made the grade, to spend some time in contemplation before being admitted to heaven.

Boogieman: "Seems like a more reasonable idea is that there is some unknown variable that causes the particles to move in ways that we didn’t expect, and we should look for that variable."

But what's the fun in that!
No, we want parallel universes, pink unicorns and pixie-dust, not just booooooooring logical science.

When I was a child my friends and I would sometimes lay in the grass starring up at the sky and dwell in “the realm of ‘could’”.

You got a point there. With enough really weird stuff they can make a new tv series called ‘The Realm of Could’.
