I actually met John Bell at a conference for Julian Schwinger's 80th birthday at UCLA in the late 1980s. Very pleasant, soft spoken guy.

Very interesting research, though wouldn't contradict my understanding of The Bible in any way.

"spooky action at a distance" sounds like a lot of dances I went to as a young teenager, just learning how to act properly in a social situation involving the opposite sex. ;-)

Science gets weirder and weirder. I'm glad I'm an engineer.

It looks like another article on some aspects of Quantum Entanglement. Bell’s theorem is right there in the middle of it all.

The common impression of the distances involved with quasars is based on the disproven idea of equating cosmic redshift with distance and velocity of expansion. Anything based on that sort of concept is FUBAR.

So how do they look at the “entangled” particles in order to determine that they are “entangled” when they are at opposite ends of the universe.

If you can know the position of a particle, you can’t know with certainty its velocity, and vice versa.

At the quantum level, measuring a particle’s velocity changes it, and measuring a particle’s position changes it.

Things like entanglement have been proven by experiments.

Quantum theory supports spiritual viewpoints. And it does not deny or oppose the idea that the Universe is governed by certain laws.

-- seems to suggest that entangled particles can affect each other instantly, faster than the speed of light.

If an action on one particle affects another particle instantaneously, no matter the distance, then speed is not a factor. There is no movement and no velocity in that.

Take something we can understand: Earth

If Earth were sentient (and who knows maybe it is) and it could “SEE” us, we would seem to move incredibly fast and be able to act upon “particles” that are very distant in a very fast time.

Because our TIME is soo much faster than Earth’s TIME.

Extrapolate that out to these particles. It is possible they act at such a speed we cannot comprehend and so it appears they are acting instantaneously. But our TIME moves so much slower than these particles’ TIME.

If they were sentient (these particles) it would seem to them that we are moving at less than a snail’s pace.

Time is Relative. In time, all things will be revealed and in GOD all things are possible.

scientists are so smart and they have phdS etc.

they know more than me. i must listen to them even when they say global warming is real even though I know it is a hoax

all scientists know is how to get more government grants

these morons have no clue what is going on

just one thing they say is that the universe exists only when you observe it . so the present determines the past because the past didn’t exist until you observed it in the present. so then the future determines the present. according to what they are saying.

Interesting video. I haven't watched the full thing through, but saw a couple of the smaller sections a while ago. Mind-bending.

John Bell had 39 electoral votes in 1860. Must be a different John Bell.
