Bell's theorm syas that due to weird quantum effects an event can cause
changes in another event via what appears to be faster-then-light messages.
But, due to the random nature of the changes the only way to determine
the what actually happened to to compare the sequence of events at one
place with the sequence of events at the other which need non-random
messages which must travel slower then light.  This is the same problem
observed in the famous twin paradox where as long a constant velocities
are maintained the you can never get the twins together to compare there
aging and determine which is really older.
