Coexistence of QT and Relativity

In summary, the conversation discussed different interpretations of quantum mechanics and the potential conflict between special relativity and nonlocality in the EPRB experiment. It was mentioned that textbook QM is a statistical formalism and does not provide a clear explanation for the nonlocal entanglement correlations, which can only be understood through beable formulations of quantum theory. The conversation also touched on the idea of giving up either locality or causality in order to reconcile QM with special relativity.

Ah yes those darn laymen...always getting involved where they should not. I especially dislike the ones with merely an undergraduate degree, C average, and a job in a patent office who try to redefine the laws of nature...this should be a crime. That guy should have listen to his professor who told him "You're enthusiastic, but hopeless at physics". Maybe then he would have amounted to something.
