Science should not propose [a] phenomenn [/a] or entity that is entirely unknown in type, not adequately describable by the English language unlike any thing else in existence.[,when]
[T]the same happenings can be explained by waves. They are divisible can be recombined causing interference. That interference couold potentially effect the location in which the particle is detected. It just needs the void not to be empty but filled either with a very fine grained substance, smaller than the particles we know-maybe 'quark soup'. Or even less, a medium to host waves.

Entanglement is not something that really happens, It explains why under such circumstances the second measured particle has just the right state, as one would expect of a partner even though it has just become a singular material Universe. That is the universe of real existing things. There of having to be part of what does or has existed. A superposition is unlike anything known. So difficult to accurately describe with words because, we are told it is, though foundational, not a part of our experience, which words describe, limited to the macroscopic and astronomic scales.
Waves. however, are known., Waves are known at different scales. They don't require suspension of disbelief. Fractals or their quality,having been identified in a process that generated a fractal or the fractal product. it is unlikely that the very small quantum scale is utterly unlike lager scales rather than a smaller version of what exists. It is unlikely that the very small quantum scale is utterly unlike larger scales, That non locality applies to the smallest scale but not elsewhere and is not known from larger scales; It doesn't fit with self similarity found throughout nature.

Consider , for example, a cat absolute, material being. A patchwork coat will work best. Then consider 3 men, observers, surrounding the cat at different distances from it. All exposed surfaces of the absolute cat object release photon particles into the surrounding environment. The photon particles travel to the men. Each man individually generates a semblance of the cat using the sensory data he has recieved and processed. All Are equally correct althouigh different from each other. None is the absolute object. Just a limited, incomplete, viewpoint .
I am aware this is a macroscopic example.

It has been assumed that particles are in superpostion of both particle and wave of no singular location, prior to selecting apparatus orientation or viewpoint to apply, a particle pair must also have no intrinsic properties
or location. Rather than the partner particles being, albeit tiny, absolute, whole particles that exist though they don’t need observation to exist.
As real whole particles, they cause vibration of the environment that surrounds them and are acted upon by the wave interference caused by division and recombination of environmental waves. they are created as a pair behaving as opposites and conserving angular momentum. They just behave in a way that is fitting what they are, the first measured pqaeticle does not need to communicate with the other so it knows what behaviour is required. It just does what it must because of what it is.

Conventional QM is a non local theory. the first particle to be measured can communicate over a very large distance, with the other. There is talk of superluminal speed that allows this to happen. non locality is not found elsewhere in nature.
The alternative is a local theory. Self similarity is found throughout nature, where similar processes occur at different scales leading to fractal patterns. Waves are known to happen at many scales. It would be strange and unlikely if the smallest scale was completely different from the rest of nature. In this theory there is no supperposition, no non local behaviour, no entanglement, no proposal of faster than light communication.

It is necessary that the obsever is able to recieve and process the potential sensory data available in the environment in order to generate an Image reality from it.
ultra violet
Bees and butterflies have photoreceptors that can convert some wavevlengths reflected light ino utra violet patterns. These patterns on petals of some flowers are nectar guides, which incxrease the chances of pollination, and so sucessful reproduction of the plant, and as aside benefit tell the insect about the presence of nectar that the insect collects as a food source. The ultra violet patterns are visible to observers able to process ultra violet light.

Frank there is no fourth dimension in reality . It is a mistake ,where the history of the material universe is preserved and carried by photons allowing us to percive things that no longer exist.
The history of the material universe can be depicted along an imaginary time line. It Is not part of the geometry of the material universe that exists (Always) now. The differences in time seen by different observers is due to differences in arrival time of sensory data ,from which each observer generates their own reality.

A different idea about red - shift
All of the galaxies except the nearest, the local group, appear red-shifted. Conventionally explained as due to movement away from the observer, Doppler-like, implying the expansion of the seen universe , in all directions since its formation.
The environment of space has, until recently been thought to be a vacuum, accounting for the longevity of photons in space.
What if instead between source and observer is dust?
An object will absorb photons but dust might absorb some photons and allow other’s through It’s heating may lead to the emission of new red wavelengths.

''Particles absorb photons by capturing their energy when the light wave interacts with the particle, essentially "soaking up" the photon's energy, which is then converted into heat and can sometimes cause structural changes within the dust grain itself; this process is particularly prominent with shorter wavelengths of light, like ultraviolet, causing dust clouds to appear dark against a starry background while re-emitting the absorbed energy at longer infrared wavelengths.
Key points about dust particle photon absorption in space:
• Wavelength dependence:
Smaller dust particles tend to absorb more light at shorter wavelengths (like ultraviolet) while larger particles can absorb across a broader spectrum. 
• Re-emission:
When dust particles absorb photons, they re-emit the energy as infrared radiation, making dusty regions appear bright in infrared images. 
• Impact on observation:
Dust absorption significantly affects our view of distant stars and galaxies, obscuring details in certain wavelengths, especially in regions with dense dust clouds.
How it works:
• Interaction with the dust grain:
When a photon strikes a dust particle, it can be absorbed if its wavelength matches the resonant frequency of the particle's material. Energy transfer:
The absorbed energy is then transferred to the dust particle, exciting its atoms or molecules, causing them to vibrate and heat up.
• Emission of infrared radiation:
The heated dust particle then re-radiates the absorbed energy as infrared radiation, which has a longer wavelength than the original photon.
dust in space:
• Interstellar dust:
Dust particles present between stars within a galaxy, composed of elements like carbon, silicon, and oxygen.
• Circumstellar dust:
Dust particles surrounding a star, often created by stellar winds or planetary nebulae.
• Interplanetary dust:
Dust particles within our solar system, contributing to the zodiacal light.

The energy of the photon is converted into another form of energy, and is lost to us: the photon is absorbed. Again, the effect of absorption is to decrease the amount of light we detect from the star. Very often, the dust grain will emit other photons, but at much longer wavelengths, typically in the IR.''

This seems to show that for galaxies further away than the local group, for whom ‘light’ has had to travel further to reach us have been red-shifted
because of the effect of dust. How much will depend on the type, amount and interference caused by it.
Local group galaxies can be blue- shifted .Thought to indicate movement towards the observer. The light has less far to travel through space to reach an observer. Therefore it is likely that the interaction with dust will be less and not enough to counteract the effect causing blue-shift
