摘要
I. The arena of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory is the abstract, unobserved and unobservable, M-dimensional formal Hilbert space [not equal to] spacetime. II. The arena of observations and, more generally, of all events (i.e. everything) in the real physical world, is the classical 4-dimensional physical spacetime. III. The "Born Rule" is the random process "magically" transforming I. into II. Wavefunctions are superposed and entangled only in the abstract space I., never in spacetime II. Attempted formulations of quantum theory directly in real physical spacetime actually constitute examples of "locally real" theories, as defined by Clauser & Horne, and are therefore already empirically refuted by the numerous tests of Bell's theorem in real, controlled experiments in laboratories here on Earth. Observed quantum entities, i.e. events, are never superposed or entangled as they: 1) Exclusively "live" (manifest) in real physical spacetime, 2) Are not described by entangled wavefunctions after "measurement", effectuated by III. When separated and treated correctly in this way, a number of fundamental problems and "paradoxes" of quantum theory vs. relativity (i.e. spacetime) simply vanish, such as the black hole information paradox, infinite zero-point energy of quantum field theory and quantization of general relativity.
