A simpler explanation of Bell's theorem: http://drchinese.com/David/Bell_Theorem_Easy_Math.htm

Yep a lot easier to read

BUT the last paragraph I wasn't too sure about

"Please note that there is a way out of this seemingly impossible scenario, but the loophole may be difficult to swallow: if Einstein's Relativity is wrong, and the speed of light is NOT a limit for propagation of cause and effect (which is called "signal locality"), then that would give us a way out of the situation. Theoretically, there could exist non-local hidden variables (Bohm outlined such a theory, for example). But regardless, the net effect of Bell's Theorem is profound. Reality is somehow dependent upon how we observe it.

Can anyone explain how Einstein being wrong gets out of the seemingly impossible scenario?

If c isn't the limit on information transfer, then faster (possibly instantaneous) communication isn't a problem.
