    "abstract": "It is argued here that the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics\nviolates the tenets on which both Galileo\u0027s and Einstein\u0027s theories of\nrelativity are based. It is postulated that the \"building blocks\" of the\nuniverse are not \"particles\" but are holistic wave-entitities which act and\ninteract with other wave-entities as one would expect from waves. A new\napproach to model the free electron is presented. It is argued from Coulomb\u0027s\nlaw that the electromagnetic quantum-field energy is not part of an electric\nfield surrounding the electron, but is localised, so that it is wholly equal to\nthe mass of the electron. It is found that an energy component must also exist\nalong a fourth spatial dimension which could be the origin of the \"dark energy\"\nin the universe and which, in turn, should be responsible for\n\"vacuum-fluctuations\" as governed by Heisenberg\u0027s uncertainty relationship for\nenergy and time. The possible consequences of this approach are analysed and\ndiscussed.",
