Can Quantum Nonlocality be the Consequence of Faster-Than-Light Interactions?

Abstract

It has been advocated by Bell and Bohm that the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) correlations are mediated through faster-than-light (FTL) interactions. In a previous paper a way to avoid causal paradoxes derived from this FTL hypothesis (via the breakdown of Lorentz symmetry) has been suggested. Lorentz transformations would remain valid, but there would be no equivalence between active and passive Lorentz transformations in the case of EPR correlations. Some counterintuitive consequences of this assumption are briefly examined here.
