论文摘要
正如爱因斯坦一再强调的那样，我们对时空结构的了解完全基于对物理对象和过程的观察的推论。在最基本的层面上，这些对象和过程用量子理论描述。然而，量子理论采用的理论实体的本体论地位是一个相当大的辩论问题。此外，贝尔确定的非局部相关性不能在标准相对论框架内轻易解释。这表明我们应该重新检查我们对时空的理解。
As repeatedly emphasized by Einstein our knowledge of the structure of space and time is based entirely on inferences from observations of physical objects and processes. At the most fundamental level these objects and processes are described by quantum theory. However, the ontological status of the theoretical entities employed by quantum theory is a matter of considerable debate. Furthermore, the nonlocal correlations identified by Bell cannot readily be explained within the standard relativistic framework. This suggests that we should re-examine our understanding of spacetime.
