A Nonlocality Theorems & Relativity Principles

Click For Summary
Nonlocality theorems raise questions about the validity of the local inertial frame principle in general relativity, as they suggest that phenomena can occur outside of local interactions. Participants in the discussion explore various nonlocality theorems, such as Bell's theorem, to assess their implications for relativity. The conversation emphasizes the tension between local realism and the nonlocal correlations observed in quantum mechanics. Some argue that nonlocality does not necessarily invalidate general relativity but rather highlights the need for a deeper understanding of the relationship between quantum mechanics and gravity. Ultimately, the discussion seeks to clarify whether nonlocality challenges the foundational principles of general relativity.

Do nonlocality theorems imply that the local inertial frame principle of general relativity is wrong (since it is local) ?

Moderator's note: Spin-off from another thread due to topic change. In the second link referenced, there is a claim about a physical interpretation of frame field. Consider a family of observers whose worldlines fill a region of spacetime. Each of them carries a clock and a set of mutually orthogonal rulers. Each observer points in the (timelike) direction defined by its worldline's tangent at any given event along it. What about the rulers each of them carries ? My interpretation: each...
