On the Impossibility of Covariant Nonlocal "hidden" Variables in Quantum Physics

Abstract

Local variables can't describe the quantum correlations observed in tests of Bell inequalities. Likewise, we show that nonlocal variables can't describe quantum correlations in a relativistic time-order invariant way.
