ABSTRACT: Richard
Feynman once said, “I think it is safe to say that no one understands Quantum
Mechanics”. The well-known article on the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox
brought forth further doubts on the interpretation of quantum theory. Einstein’s
doubt on quantum theory is a doubleedged sword: experimental verification of
quantum theory would contradict the hypothesis that speed of light is finite.
It has been almost a century since the creation of quantum theory and special
relativity, and the relevant doubts brought forward remain unresolved. We posit
that the existence of discontinuity points and quantum wormholes would imply
superluminal phenomenon or infinite speed of light, which provides for an important
supplement to the invariance principle of the speed of light and superluminal
phenomena. This can potentially resolve the inconsistency between special
relativity and quantum theory.
