Abstract
Using the new concept of "stochastic gauge system", we describe a novel loophole to circumvent the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox. We derive a "realistic" (i.e., classical) model, free from any paradox, which exactly emulates the spin EPR experiment. We conclude that Bell's inequalities are violated in classical physics as well, or, conversely that quantum mechanical theory is logically consistent with relativity.
