Abstract

Today, mainstream science considers that the observer and all observed physical phenomena exist in time and space as fundamental physical realities of the universe. Nonetheless, relevant recent research shows that the time measured with clocks is merely a mathematical parameter of material change, i.e. motion which runs in space. In this picture, the existence of past, present and future is merely a mathematical one. EPR paradox is established on the misunderstanding that the observer, the measuring instrument and measured phenomena exist in space and time. In this paper the perspective is introduced that, as regards EPR-type experiments, observer and observed phenomena exist only in space which originates from a fundamental quantum vacuum which is an immediate medium of quantum entanglement.
