Classical geometric resolution of the Einstein—Podolsky—Rosen paradox

Abstract

I show that, in the geometry of a fiber bundle describing a gauge theory, curvature and parallel transport ensure and impose nonseparability. The “Einstein—Podolsky—Rosen paradox” is thus resolved “classically.” I conjecture that the ostentatiously “implausible” features of the quantum treatment are due to the fact that space—time separability, a basic assumption of single-particle nonrelativistic quantum mechanics, does not fit the bundle geometry of the complete physics.

Keywords: quantum mechanics, nonseparability, gauge theory, fiber bundle
