Abstract
Since we were able to show recently that quantum mechanics can not describe separated physical systems we analyse again the reasoning of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen, and find that the most straith forward conclusion of this paradox is not correct. We indicate the missing elements of reality in the quantum mechanical description of separated physical systems. We show that Bell inequalities are satisfied iff the two physical systems are separated, whether the systems are quantum systems or classical systems is of no matter. We give an example of a classical macroscopical situation where Bell inequalities are violated.
