Parallel lives (PL) is a model of quantum theory that is both local and realistic. According to
PL all quantum fields consist of point beings called “lives” that carry a memory of their previous
interactions and interact with each other locally. The lives move on continuous world-lines in
space-time with a speed bounded by the speed of light and they can split into copies when they
meet each other. This feature resembles many worlds interpretation. However in the PL model,
the division of lives takes place locally. Since the model is local and lives propagate at speeds
not exceeding the speed of light, it has been claimed to be compatible with the theory of
relativity. We confront the PL model with Hardy's paradox and show that the PL model is
inconsistent with the special theory of relativity. The inconsistency does not actually arise when
we consider the first-person observations of Lorentz observers. The inconsistency arises when
one Lorentz observer observes the observation results of another Lorentz observer. We discuss
implications of this inconsistency on special theory of relativity, and speculate a solution that
we believe, fits the spirit of the PL model.
