Re: Simple QM question

I was under the impression that the condradiction was either there are more than only local hidden variables, or quantum mechanics being wrong. Not that there were not any local hidden variables.

Meaning there were non local hidden variables.

But what I was asking is, why are local hidden variables not capable of explaining the correlation? I don't understand how it is impossible for measurements on two particles seperated by some amount of space to be 100% correlated through purely determinisitic means.
