Non-local hidden variable theories

Non-local hidden variable theories propose that particles have predetermined properties influencing their behavior, even if they are separated by large distances. Unlike local theories that restrict influences to nearby regions, non-local theories allow instantaneous connections between particles, regardless of space, explaining quantum phenomena like entanglement. These theories suggest that the universe's underlying reality involves hidden factors that are interconnected in ways classical physics cannot fully describe, challenging the idea that effects cannot travel faster than light. They aim to provide a deterministic, realist explanation for quantum mechanics’ strange correlations, accepting that some influences may be instant and non-local.
