Abstract

The fact that the reality is observed by us as the Lorentzian space time does not mean that the true reality must be Lorentzian, just as the fact that the complicated routes of heavenly bodies we observe on the firmament does not mean that the heavenly bodies really are performing such complicated motions. In this paper I present the model of reality where the true reality is four dimensional and Euclidean but we can observe it as the four dimensional Lorentzian space time. Description of physical phenomena is much simpler in the Euclidean model than in the Lorentzian one, while the process of observation becomes slightly more complicated.
