Quantum Entanglement & Quantum Coherence CowboysLbug: Read an interesting article found at: http://www.mi2g.com/cgi/mi2g/frameset.php?pageid=http%3A//www.mi2g.com/cgi/mi2g/press/100711.php Question: When thinking in terms of communication via technology the use of it allows us to communicate as electrons are able to instantaneously communicate regardless of the distance between them. The article in the above url highlights Einsteins theory and states a challenge. "The challenge posed to scientists with this discovery is that it violates Einsteins long-held theory that no communication can travel faster than the speed of light." Q: Isn't our ability to view the exchange of the electrons when receive the communication via our technology use light and there for Einsteins theory remains relevant? Yan26: I think it does pose a challenge to Einstein's theory. But we should keep in mind Einstein's theory dealt with 4 dimensions - the three dimensions we see and time as the 4th dimension. However string theory allows for many more dimensions. So if something may be instantaneous in the first 4 dimensions it may still be measurable in some other dimension. This is just conjecture. It is possible that we may have to bring some large changes in Einstein's Theory of Relativity. Evelyn99: Make you wonder in some cases the universe is infinitely small perhaps it’s only in human perspective that it’s so huge and who can d define that anyways. Strange how some particles instantly communicate regardless of the distance. arnym: As a mere ignorant, unscientific bumpkin I've always been suspicious of the idea that there is any such thing as an absolute or maximum possible speed. How do we (I) know that 'instantaneous' quantum entanglement isn't just something happening at such a speed that we can't measure it - or even that it's not just an apparent phenomenon resulting from faulty perception or assumptions? Evelyn99: There is a speed limit set by massless particles like like light.?intresting here is that you can put those two particles next to each other and they behave simultaneously or you can put them 13000 light years away from each other and seme resoult Evelyn99: They somehow have the other particles in them z Ollie this universe is infinity small it’s just human that doesn’t have much to comered it with Evelyn99: Much because the light hitting earth the distance to the galaxy and several other things. Sure. But try to think that 21 13 billion light years is something else than distance for something else. Guess distance irrelevant for particles that have a conscious Just know arnym: Sorry Evelyn, I can't make any sense out of what you wrote. The meaning of the language itself is not apparent to me. Evelyn99: What long distance for me lets say I never go out much. You running the da dictans several times every day. Distance become very different in our opinion.
