  In 1935, Albert Einstein, Boris Podolsky, and Nathan Rosen ('EPR') reported
on a thought experiment that they believed showed that quantum theory provided
an incomplete description of reality. Today we know that quantum theory is a
complete and correct description of Nature (in flat space-time). The EPR
thought experiment is predicted by quantum theory and has since been
experimentally confirmed. However, EPR experiments have no physical pictorial
explanation, and are considered part of a "paradox". Here I resolve the
"paradox". I show independently of any interpretation of quantum theory that
EPR (thought) experiments are a direct and compelling consequence of the
existence of true randomness and the conservation of energy. It becomes obvious
why EPR (thought) experiments allow for the precise prediction of truly random
measurement values. Local hidden variables are not motivated.
