    Sorry, Einstein. Quantum Study Suggests ‘Spooky Action’ Is Real.

    In a landmark study, scientists at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands reported that they had conducted an experiment that they say proved one of the most fundamental claims of quantum theory — that objects separated by great distance can instantaneously affect each other’s behavior.

    The finding is another blow to one of the bedrock principles of standard physics known as “locality,” which states that an object is directly influenced only by its immediate surroundings. The Delft study, published Wednesday in the journal Nature, lends further credence to an idea that Einstein famously rejected. He said quantum theory necessitated “spooky action at a distance,” and he refused to accept the notion that the universe could behave in such a strange and apparently random fashion.

    In particular, Einstein derided the idea that separate particles could be “entangled” so completely that measuring one particle would instantaneously influence the other, regardless of the distance separating them.

    We exist in a time of massive paradigm shifts. Quantum entanglement is well known theory and bursting through the barriers of accepted realities. In short, everything changes everything, the butterfly flapping it's wings business. All of physics is built on previous understanding and proofs. Newtonian, Einsteinian, quantum, etc,all propelled into the future via applications that force further understanding and theory. It's a process of stairstepping our way through understanding and beliefs. In terms of easily understood common physics here's an interesting application.

    Let's extrapolate a bit, invite our expansive imagination into the query. Since the human body is on average 60% water can it be possible that music can effect mood with the % of water somehow being a portion of the causation? Are we even who we think we are but instead connected ALL together in a non phyisical environment of quantum entanglement. Are there physical hints of this theory?

    It's a garbage weekend of football games, you might as well think about something.:D

  3. Yes, nowadays we usually call it Through The Internet!

  5. What you term "massive shifts in paradigm" is just alternate models created, speculated, mused..and plugged-in to known FACT to tease out the detail

    It's to be applauded, creativity but applied against known fact & plausible theory. The VAST MAJORITY OF THESE FAIL! AS THEY SHOULD.

    Very few things change Any thing is more accurate representationo_O

  6. it's funny, some people think "everything changes" ie reality is up for grabs. it's one thing now, and another thing later...who knows?

    but their POSTS arrive here RELIABLY. not just once in a while but always.

    if nature is so capricious..???

    and how the heck could they ever place a trade:D
     
  7. "Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity is about to celebrate its 100th anniversary, and his revolutionary hypothesis has withstood the test of time, despite numerous expert attempts to find flaws."

    Either the Hypothesis has too difficult to prove its validity and limitations.

    Or our scientific advancement has been too slow for the last 100 years!

    Sad to say that!

  8. too slow for last 100 million yrs? been lot faster than you in any event :D
     
  9. Typo has been corrected! Thanks.
     
  10. Perhaps this kind of speed conducted through dark matter, hypothetically I think, can be much much faster than the speed of light that we see (and understand)!
