Why "noncommuting common causes" don't explain anything
arXiv:1310.1489
Abstract
In my commentary, I will argue that the conclusions drawn in the paper "Noncommutative causality in algebraic quantum field" theory by Gábor Hofer-Szabó (and similar publications) are incorrect. As proven by J.S. Bell, a local common causal explanation of correlations violating the Bell inequality is impossible.
