Kamalov Megallan Ltd., Prospect Mira, 180-3, Moscow 129366, Russia e-mail: okamalov@chat.ru & ykamalov@rambler.ru Abstract It is shown that the nature of quantum statistics can be clarified by assuming the existence of a back- ground of random gravitational fields and waves, distributed isotropically in space. This background is responsible for correlating phases of oscillations of identical microobjects. If such a background of random gravitational fields and waves is considered as hidden variables, then taking it into account leads to Bell-type inequalities that are fairly consistent with experimental data. Quantum theory is a statistical theory, which at the same time does not lend itself to investigation of its statistics nature, this problem being considered as being beyond its scope. Quantum theory does not deal with the causes of quantum phenomena; it postulates the classically inexplicable phenomena of a quantum microcosm observed in experiments as its axioms. Such an approach, although not introducing errors, does not explain the experimentally observable phenomena, leaving them incomprehensible from the classical viewpoint and giving rise to all sorts of paradoxes. Quantum theory lacks the classical logic and the classical causality, hence the classical axiomatics, which makes this theory, from the classical physics viewpoint, rely on the method of indirect computations. Are classical causality and classical logic absent in quantum theory only or in nature as well? The absence of classical causality and classical logic in the theory does not imply their absence in nature. Now, let us try to single out the basic classically incomprehensible concepts of quantum theory. First, it is the wave–particle dualism. Taking into account all the above-mentioned, a particle could acquire wave properties, being influenced by a wave background. Second, it is the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Due to the influence of nonremovable background on a measurement, it is impossible to measure the values precisely. Third, it is the energy balance in an atom. From the classical physics viewpoint, an electron moving in the electric field of the nucleus should emit electromagnetic radiation. Can we assume that the background of the whole spectrum of frequencies gives energy to the electron, the latter re-emitting it, and that the energy balance in the atom could then be maintained? We can complete quantum theory with hidden variables without altering the mathematical apparatus of quantum mechanics. Does a comprehensible theory result? The issue of the necessity to complete the quantum theory was first considered in the study by Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen (hereinafter, EPR) [1]. Let us consider the EPR effect. Two particles, A and B, at the initial moment interact and then scatter in opposite directions.
