Relativity is a classical theory, that is infinitely divisible and
continuous. It leaves no room for quantum behaviors.

Quantum theory assumes the entire Universe has a finite local
contribution. Geometry is spliced on to yield measurable results.

The divide seems to be being gulfed by "entanglement".

No.

   One of the first precepts of quantum
physics is that no two phenomena-(photon,
electron,proton or even quarks can occupy
the same space-time coordinates .

No. Spacetime is no part of quantum theory. It is added on to yield
measureable results.

The conception of quantum physics is that
at some instant in time at some space-time
coordinate a potential of events collapses
into one event from all possible outcomes.

.... Based on some action. Close enough.

Theoretical quantum physics seems to have
embraced a multi-dimensional universe of
dimensions embedded below the plank constant
level of discernable measurement.

I haven't seen any speculation on is that
the mathematics of complex numbers in
electronics and quantum physics isn't just
a parlour trick to get to results more
easily than by other equally valid but more
convaluted methods.

The word is "convoluted". No, complex numbers describe (essentially)
a "potential" that is required, but not allowed, by a simple
formulation. They do a very fine job of approximating a 3D space, and
yield things like the trig functions.

   If there is a reality to imaginary
numbers in this context what would it
'look' like. Since it is at right angles
to time it could be thought of as a slice
through the 4 dimensional space-time
continuum we live in -a moment in our
universe.

No.

   I believe Einstein was right -nothing
can travel faster than light - no 'thing'
can travel faster than light.

Nature will be pleased to know that you have an uninformed opinion. I
am sure you will hear from Her soon on this topic.

If there is this 5th dimension then
properties of particles can be as fuzzy
as they are, 'entanglement' can occur over
light years of distance because the entire
universe is simultaneously present in each
moment 'through' this dimension.

No. In QM, there *is* no separation, that is why "instantaneous" is
not an issue.

You need to change the comic books you get your physics from.
