Abstract

Einstein thought that quantum mechanics was incomplete because it was nonlocal. In this paper I argue
instead that quantum theory is incomplete, even if it is nonlocal, and that relativity is incomplete because
its minimal spatiotemporal structure cannot naturally accommodate such nonlocality. So, I show that
relativistic pilot-wave theories are the rational completion of quantum mechanics as well as relativity: they
provide a spatiotemporal ontology of particles, as well as a spatiotemporal structure able to explain
quantum correlations.
