ABSTRACT: Within the framework of Winterberg’s model for space where the vacuum consists of a very stiff two-component superfluid, made up of very massive, positive as well as negative mass, Planck particles, we offer an explanation for quantum entanglement. We make use of the hypothesis, that Planck charge,
q
Pl
, was created at the same time as Planck mass,
m
Pl
. Moreover, the repulsive force that Planck particles of a similar mass experience is, in reality, the electrostatic force of repulsion between like charges. There is also a gravitational force of attraction between two Planck particle of similar mass, but this will be shown to be related to the electrostatic force. We can prove that there is an electrostatic restoring force,

, acting on a Planck particle within this, two-component, non-viscous fluid (sea), which forces the individual Planck particle back into its equilibrium positions when disturbed (displaced). Moreover, it can be derived from the electrostatic force between individual Planck particles,

meters. We will argue that space is the arbitrator of quantum interactions, and not photons or gravitons, as is commonly thought. Space is inherently electrostatic (and gravistatic, at the same time) because these are the forces that hold it together. Moreover, space will allow for superluminal P and S waves to propagate, once the space is disturbed or otherwise disrupted (as in wave function collapse). We prove that the vacuum will thus allow for an almost instantaneous transmission of energy and information between two particles separated by a great distance using our two-component superfluid model. This may solve the quantum entanglement problem.
