ABSTRACT: Quantum entanglement represents one of the most profound and counterintuitive phenomena in modern physics, challenging our classical understanding of locality and causality. While the mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics accurately predicts entanglement correlations, the lack of a physically intuitive mechanism has led to numerous interpretational difficulties and philosophical debates. This article presents a comprehensive analysis of existing interpretations of quantum entanglement, from the Copenhagen interpretation to many-worlds and hidden variable theories, highlighting their limitations and motivating a novel vortex-based interpretation grounded in the hydrodynamic behavior of a superfluid vacuum, drawing upon the author’s published work on electron, quark, and gravitational force dynamics. This vortex model provides a physically intuitive and causally consistent explanation for nonlocal correlations without invoking superluminal signaling, offering a bridge between classical physics and quantum mechanics. The proposed interpretation suggests that entangled particles are surface manifestations of deeper, coherent vortex structures within a continuous vacuum medium, analogous to connected vortices in a fluid system. This framework not only resolves the conceptual difficulties associated with “spooky action at a distance” but also provides a foundation for understanding quantum phenomena through classical hydrodynamic principles.
