The quantum measurement problems are revisited from a new perspective.  One of the main ideas of this work is that the basic entities of our worldare various types of particles, elementary or composite. It follows that eachelementary process, hence each measurement process at its core, is a spacetime,pointlike, event. Another key idea is that, when a microsystem $\psi$ gets intocontact with the experimental device, factorization of $\psi$ rapidly fails andentangled mixed states appear. The wave functions for the microsystem-apparatuscoupled systems for different measurement outcomes then lack overlappingspacetime support. It means that the aftermath of each measurement is a singleterm in the sum: a "wave-function collapse".  Our discussion leading to a diagonal density matrix, $\rho= {\rm diag} (|c_1|^2, \ldots, |c_n|^2, \ldots )$ shows how the information encoded in thewave function $|\psi\rangle = \sum_n c_n | n \rangle$ gets transcribed, viaentanglement with the experimental device and environment, into the relativefrequencies ${\cal P}_n = |c_n|^2$ for various experimental results $F=f_n$.  These results represent new, significant steps towards filling in the logicalgaps in the standard interpretation based on Born's rule, and replacing it witha more natural one. Accepting objective reality of quantum fluctuations,independent of any experiments, and independently of human presence, onerenounces the idea that in a fundamental, complete theory of Nature the resultof each single experiment must necessarily be predictable.  A few well-known puzzles such as the Schr\"odinger cat conundrum and the EPRparadox are briefly reviewed: they can all be naturally explained away.
