It is found that quantum mechanics violates the principle of locality without violating causality. Causality is preserved because there is no way for Alice to transmit a message (information) to Bob by varying the axis along which makes the measure. Any axis you choose, always has a 50% chance of getting "+" and 50% to get "-" completely at random, according to quantum mechanics, it is quite impossible for her that will affect the outcome. In addition, Bob can do his measure once, since the collapse of the wave function caused by the extent irreversibly disturbs
However, the principle of locality is strongly recalls the macroscopic level of physical intuition, and Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen did not want to leave. Einstein derided the predictions of quantum mechanics as scary action at a distance. The conclusion we drew was that quantum mechanics is not a complete theory.
It should be noted that the word locality has several meanings in physics. For example, in quantum field theory "locality" means that fields in different points of space do not interact with each other. However, the quantum field theories that are local in this sense violate the principle of locality, as determined by EPR. "
