Abstract: It is shown that the combination of a unitary quantum theory and special relativity may lead to a contradiction when considering the statistics of certain measurement results in different Lorentz frames in a Gedankenexperiment. This result seems to imply that either unitary quantum theories are wrong or if a unitary quantum theory is right then there must exist a preferred Lorentz frame.
