Abstract
Two criticisms which have prevented the realistic interpretation of entangled state from being widely accepted are addressed and shown to be unfounded. A local realistic theory, which reproduces all the quantum probabilistic predictions, is constructed for Hardy’s experiment based on the realistic interpretation of the entangled two-particle Hardy state.
