It’s kind of ironic that Einstein, who created the EPR paradox, solved it years earlier, when he developed Special Relativity.

When we take the effects of Special Relativity to the extreme, we realize that any phenomena or process that appears to be developing at the speed of light takes no time at all from its own perspective. By extreme time dilation, no time elapses, and by extreme length contraction, all possible space paths get contracted into a point. So things that travel at c feel at the beginning and the end of their journey at once. What we picture as an emission-flight-detection process is an instantaneous point-like event for them.

I think this is the most important duality in nature. It can be stated this way:

c speed = infinite speed

This means that it doesn’t matter there’s a speed limit in the universe because, for all purposes, things that travel at c feel they’re instantaneous. They traverse any distance in no time (for themselves) so they’re, effectively, teleporting instantly at infinite speed.

Any quantum object at the speed of light behaves more or less like a wormhole that connects two distant space-time points in no time (for itself).

This “relativity of speed” or “relativity of spacetime” between matter and massless particles explains all QM weirdness (entanglement, nondeterminism, wave/particle duality, wave function collapse, Bell’s theorem, faster than light communication, EPR paradox, Scrhödinger’s cat experiment, double-slit experiment, delayed choice experiment…)

I talk in more detail about these topics here:
