By adding an observer-independent irreversibility principle for detections, the paper concludes that quantum superposition cannot extend to visible objects with observer-dependent outcomes.

abstract
I discuss an experiment demonstrating nonlocality and conservation of energy under the assumption that the decision of the outcome happens at detection. The experiment does not require Bell's inequalities and is loophole-free. I further argue that the local hidden variables assumed in Bell's theorem involve de Broglie's "empty waves", and therefore "many worlds" achieves to reconcile locality with the violation of Bell's inequalities. Accordingly, the discussed experiment may be the first loophole-free demonstration of nonlocality.

The limits of quantum superposition: Should "Schr\"{o}dinger's cat" and "Wigner's friend" be considered "miracle" narratives?
