Description: We have performed an experimental test in which quantum mechanics predicts a nonlocal single-particle transport beyond the very paradigm of motion in three dimensions and therefore beyond the relativity. The test has shown that such transport does exist. This fact strongly challenges the relativistic concept of simultaneity giving rise to a renaissance of Newtonian concept of absolute time but in a combination with the multidimensional space which corresponds to the quantum-mechanical notion of configuration space. The test legitimates realistic interpretation of quantum mechanics insofar as the requirement of Lorentz invariance appears irrelevant to any version of quantum theory.
