Wigner's friend paradox: does objective reality not exist?

 
Lomonosov Moscow State University, Faculty of Physics, Leninskie Gory 1 build. 2, Moscow, 119991, Russian Federation

It is shown that the lack of objective existence of the results of quantum measurements of the state of collapse of the state vector of a remote localized system cannot be proved by an experiment using the reality of violation of Bell's inequality in the Clauser—Horne—Shimony—Holt form. Arguments of a general nature and a specific calculation example confirming this conclusion are also given.
