  "abstract": "We will first define what is meant by ``hidden variables\". Then, we will review various theorems proving the impossibility of theories introducing such variables and then show that the de Broglie-Bohm theory is not refuted by those theorems. We will also explain the relation between those theorems and nonlocality, with or without introducing Bell's inequalities.",
