And some day someone will throw out vectors and reexamine fields.

For those who don't know: everything we know about the universe comes from James Clerk Maxwell in the 19th century. He published 200 quaternions as he called them - all describing fields.

But alas a self-educated, pompous, knowitall by the name of Heavyside declared them impossible 'abominations', threw out all but four, and chaged those from field to vector - and presto-chango, this brought us all we know which lies beneath absolutely everything dealing with electromagnetic radiation of any kind – physics, chemistry, computers, radio, television, cell phones, lasers, you name it - the universe was revealed.

From there came Einstein.

And you ask just what did the original quaternions describe? The way to step from here to anywhere else in the universe without actually moving and so... you get the picture.

But since they were fields which, as everyone knows, are impossible abominations, no point in actually looking at them again, right? Best to stick with safe vectors, we wouldn't actually want energy from the fabric of the universe for nothing - shhesh.

While Maxwell died in relative obscurity, as befited his act of descreation, Heavyside died in poverty.

Thans.

Sunken, . . . isn’t it true . . . that . . .

entangled . . . what . . . particles?

if one is changed, the other of the pair is ?instantly? changed the same or similarly, regardless of their distance apart?

So if one is on one side of our solar system or galaxy . . . and the other is on the opposite side . . .

wouldn’t that ‘information’ about the change . . .

HAVE

to travel faster than light?

Just an ignorant psychologist/layman’s musing sort of question.

LOL.

"No faster than light speed information transfer occurs because, in actuality, it is something of an illusion...."

[wastedyears]

Sounds hugh and series.

[wastedyears]

Communications by ansible, great concept.

Now to work out the science involved.

[SunkenCiv]

That’s the theory. Doesn’t work with the Megamillions lotto, so...

[Quix]

Hmmmm . . .

How does one even attempt to apply that to Lotto?

[SunkenCiv]

Blackening the boxes to get the ticket doesn’t make the numbers come up. What a pain.
