Thank _you_! I'm not a scientist, or a philosopher, but an autodidact
who reads and writes on both subjects and keeps hoping to get
paid for it. So it's good to find out that when I set out to translate
a scientist's philosophical statement I got it (more or less) right.

H'mmm. Is there a formulation of QFT in which relativistic causality
is _not_ violated -- or at least rendered irrelevant? I somehow had
the impression this was one of the big barriers to making quantum
gravity theories work. --at any rate, it seems the the experiments
which (seem to) confirm the Bell hypothesis throw relativistic
causality into a very cocked hat.

I'm pretty sure that the whole point of relativity is _not_ to have
a preferred frame of reference. But, ZPF theory may mess that
up pretty good (if it ever amounts to anything).
