  It is argued that the standard quantum mechanical description of the Bell
correlations between entangled subsystems is in conflict with relativistic
space-time symmetry. Proposals to abandon relativistic symmetry, in the sense
of explicitly returning to an absolute time and preferred frame, are rejected
on the grounds that the preferred frame is not empirically detectable, so the
asymmetry is an unsatisfactory feature in physical theory. A "symmetric view"
is proposed in which measurement events on space-like separated entangled
subsystems are connected by a symmetric two-way mutual influence. Because of
this reciprocity, there is complete symmetry of the description: Einsteinian
relativity of simultaneity and space-time symmetry are completely preserved.
The nature of the two-way influence is considered, as well as the possibility
of an empirical test.
