So, I'm having a lot of difficulty in translating all this into plain English.
Is it reasonable to say that Bell's theorem is saying that faster than light changes can happen, and can be reproduced as per quantum mechanical predictions, whereas Special Relativity says this cannot happen ?
I'm mystified as to whether any of these concepts are implying anything about the causes of entanglement.
It seems to be more about predictions of correlated events (??)
