"Schr ̈odinger’s equation is non-relativistic, so could it be that this non-
local effect is an artifact of a non-relativistic theory? The problem with
that claim is that we know entanglement is a necessary and indispensable
feature of the standard quantum formalism. For example, we know that in
helium, the ground state wave function of the two electrons is an entangled
state and this is necessary to produce the correct energy levels. Any relativistic corrections will merely produce small modifications....Essentially the necessity of using the Clifford algebra for the Pauli and Dirac equations arises because the wave function does not capture the full implications of the non-commutative
structure which only become significant in these algebras. To bring out these
features we must go to the algebra. In such algebras one must distinguish
between left and right operations. This means that when we come to con-
sider time development we need two equations, a left translation and a right
translation-the equation and its dual. In the case of the Schr ̈odinger equa-
tion, the dual is simply the complex conjugate equation, which is dismissed
since it seems to add nothing new. This cannot be done for the Pauli or
Dirac equations where the full non-commutative structure is necessary."

The problem is that, AFAIK, what he is talking about has no experimental verification, like wormholes. What is really successful are the predictions of scattering data.

"In fact QFT predicts accurately the results of scattering experiments but ignores what happens between t=-infinity and t=+infinity and never discusses AFAIK EPR type situations."
