Action at a distance and the no-mediator theorem

Quantum Physics 2019-10-08 v3

Abstract

It is known that outcomes of space-like separated measurements of entangled particles are interdependent. As in the classical physics no one saw action-at-a-distance, not mediated by some real communication using a carrier, people look for some mediator that makes possible an influence-passing between the distant particles. The wave function does not comprise such a kind of object. The present text tries to incorporate the mediator in the formalism of the quantum mechanics. The result is a contradiction.
