Abstract

Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen (EPR) argued that the
quantum-mechanical probabilistic description of physical reality
had to be incomplete, in order to avoid an instantaneous action
between distant measurements. This suggested the need for
additional ``hidden variables", allowing for the recovery of
determinism and locality, but such a solution has been disproved
experimentally. Here, I present an opposite solution, based on the
greater indeterminism of the modern quantum theory of Particle
Physics, predicting that the number of photons is always
uncertain. No violation of locality is allowed for the physical
reality, and the theory can fulfill the EPR criterion of
completeness.
