Abstract

Bell's proof and recent experiments sugested by it raised questions concerning the existence of supraluminal influences and the status of these with respect to Einstein's theory of relativity. These questions are briefly examined via an approach which is independent of any model. This approach generates a clear distinction between information perceivable by an observer, which is found to be transmited with infraluminal speed and influences acting inside the microphenomena. An informational treatment gives a quantitative indication concerning acting information.
