-  +**Jaynes vs. Bell ** 
-<--+ <blockquote>"​The measurement at A at time t does not change the real physical situation at B; but it changes our state of knowledge about that situation, and therefore it changes the predictions we are able to make about B at some time t 0 . Since this is a matter of logic rather than physical causation, there is no action at a distance and no di culty with relativity [also, it does not matter whether t 0 is before, equal to, or after t"​.<​cite>​[[http://​bayes.wustl.edu/​etj/​articles/​cmystery.pdf|Clearing up the Mysteries]],​ by Jaynes</​cite></​blockquote>​
