I wrote under the impression that locality would rely on a notion of space-time. wiki/Local_realism says as much. That then is one notion to knock down. The null hypothesis here would be non-locality.
Unifying that with GR is the big problem, I hear, especially regarding gravity.
- n4r9 8y agoWithout some notion of space-time you could not have a meaningful notion of locality, therefore Bell's Theorem is a non-issue. But you don't need a relativistic space-time for Bell's Theorem, any space-time in which physical influences travel at a bounded speed will suffice. Bell's Theorem does, however, create an uneasy tension between quantum theory and special relativity. Tim Maudlin writes quite a good book about this called "Quantum Non-Locality and Relativity".
