Hi,
In all the discussions about EPR, Bell's inequality and interpretations of QM locality seems to be a property that nobody likes to drop light-heartedly. This is somehow understandable since SR is an extremely successful theory.
But SR only says that we cannot transmit information faster than the the speed of light. The no-communication theorem states that we cannot communicate by performing local operations on an entangeld state, so this kind of nonlocality is strictly non-causal.
So why is nonlocality still something suspicious even though it's completely consistent with SR?
