Abstract
Bell?s theorem manifests a tension between quantum non-locality and relativity
by asserting that any realistic account of EPR-type correlations must admit
non-local influences between distant events. We want to explore the
possibility to mitigate this tension by admitting microscopic interactions
that are both advanced and retarded, thus drawing exclusively on the
resources of relativistic space-time. We present a simple toy-model
demonstrating that such time-symmetric interactions can account for
statistical correlations violating the Bell inequalities while avoiding
``conspiracies'' as well as the commitment to instantaneous (direct
space-like) influences. We discuss how the model fits into the framework of
Bell?s theorem.
