"The question of the possibility for a completion of quantum mechanics received its most famous (partial) answer in 1964 by, again, Bell ... He proved what today is known simply as Bell's theorem, to wit, that is such a more complete description exists, it cannot be local, i.e. dependent only on the events in a system's past lightcone, and agree with quantum mechanics in all instances. To this day, this result forms the paradigm example of a 'no-go' theorem."
