However, this isn't a popular idea in physics; in fact Gerard t'Hooft is the only Nobel prize winner I can think of that supports this idea. Local hidden variable theories have almost all been ruled out by experiment in the last few decades (the same kind of theory Einstein was trying to find). There's still some loopholes, but, eh...
