Special and general relativity (SR/GR) describe nature “subjectively”, that is, from the perspectives of observers. Despite the Lorentz covariance of SR, the general covariance of GR, and all coordinate-free formulations, the perspective of each observer in SR/GR is egocentric. Even if we put all these perspectives together, we will not craft a “holistic view of nature” (view that is simultaneous for all observers) because there is no absolute time in SR/GR. I show: In Euclidean relativity (ER), there is a relative 4D vector “flow of proper time” and absolute cosmic time. ER describes nature “objectively”, that is, a holistic view of nature is provided. Each object’s (!) proper space d₁, d₂, d₃ and proper time τ span an absolute 4D Euclidean spacetime (ES), where d₁, d₂, d₃ and d₄ = cτ are treated the same. An observer’s reality is created by projecting ES orthogonally to his proper space and to his proper time. These projections are relative. ER compares to an “advanced heliocentric model”, in which the planets revolve around the sun without the sun being the center of the universe. The model requires the imagination of being “beyond” (outside of) the universe. In a similar way, ES is a master reality beyond each observer’s reality. Equipped with this holistic view, ER solves several mysteries (such as time, time’s arrow, the Hubble constant tension, entanglement). ER also declares some concepts of today’s physics obsolete (such as dark energy, non-locality). Since the laws of physics apply to an observer’s reality only, I do not derive any field equations in ES. This finish may be disappointing, but it is fine because none of my solved mysteries requires field equations.
