“The results of experiments on Bell-type arrangements have forced the conceptual issue of quantum non-locality into focus. ...[A]ny physically adequate quantum theory must violate the Principle of Locality. Yet the idea... still sits uncomfortably with most of us. ...The kind of non-locality... has been described as 'benign' since it cannot be used for any kind of signalling... and therefore does not explicitly violate Special Relativity. It is fortunate that parts of the universe do not constantly exhibit non-local behaviors so that we can continue to use established scientific methods to investigate the world. However... non-locality does not necessitate a causality.”
