Comment on "The Free Will Theorem"

Abstract

In a recent paper [quant-ph/0604079], Conway and Kochen claim to have established that theories of the GRW type, i.e., of spontaneous wave function collapse, cannot be made relativistic. On the other hand, relativistic GRW-type theories have already been presented, in my recent paper [quant-ph/0406094] and by Dowker and Henson [J. Statist. Phys. 115: 1327 (2004), quant-ph/0209051]. Here, I elucidate why these are not excluded by the arguments of Conway and Kochen.
