Now, I'm not an expert on QM... I'm an expert of getting a headache from trying to understand it. Now it's gotten even weirder.

There has long been an assumption that a quantum leap is instantaneous and random. Now scientists have been able to tell when one is about to happen, and even interrupt it before it does.

I think this is Nobel Prize type stuff.

With the benefit of my ignorance, it sounds like there might be underlying variables changing. The Bell test eliminated local hidden variables, but maybe non-local variables? At this point I'm speculating way above my actual understanding, though.

This makes sense in accordance to the well known notion that there are just no shortcuts in life.

There's a long-standing debate going on, whether the Kopenhagen-interpretation is correct or not. Well... It appears it's not. I've always prefered Schrödinger's view on the matter, as it appears to make more sense in relation to the perceptible reality.
