non-local hidden variables
Non-local hidden variables refer to hypothetical, unobservable factors that could explain the correlations between entangled particles in quantum mechanics, despite being widely separated in space. These variables are proposed to exist beyond the known laws of physics to account for the seemingly instantaneous communication between the particles, contrary to the principles of local realism.
