🔬 Quantum rules clash with relativity, researchers find

Scientists have expanded arguments against nonlocal realism using frame-indexed causal models. This research was conducted by Nicolas Gisin and collaborators concerning quantum mechanics and special relativity. The new theorems show that no adequate model can satisfy Independent Settings, No-Retrocausality, and Lorentz Invariance of Causal Connections. This means conflicts persist even when symmetry requirements in causal structure are relaxed. This sets a clear benchmark for future theories trying to reconcile quantum mechanics with relativity. ⚛️
