Strange events that Einstein himself called "spooky" might happen at least 10,000 times the speed of light, according to the latest attempt to understand them.

String theory? Here’s a string fact: Let loose of the string and you lose the balloon. String theory is that letting lose of the string looses the balloon. But those two are surely entangled.
“....A collision at light speed would be a beetch!...”
Yeah, but who would know! ;-)
One of my favorite physics experiments. If you’ve never been exposed to the double slit experiment, and how introducing an “observer” changes reality itself, you’ll be amazed.

interesting thanks
Ping me again when the “signals” transmit information faster than light.
Cheers!
The link between the particles occurs in a higher, “wrapped” dimension, where the distance is very short. Put two dots separated by a few inches on a sheet of paper and then fold it over so the two dots touch. Takes no time at all to move between the too-dimensional dots in the third dimension. Actually, the “link” between the particles is “always there” in the higher dimension, just like the surface of the sheet of paper is always there. Neither comes into being only when the signal is moving.
Didn't anyone around here watch Star Trek?
Where's Lt. Uhura when you need her?
INTERESTING...
It would if you didn’t have your Shields up.
So if a light year is the distance light travels in one year, then a ‘spooky year’ is 10,000 times that distance and Alpha Centauri is only .000437 spooky years (or about 4 spooky hours) away from earth.
How about the link occurs at less dimensions. Photons, speed of light, from their reference frame time stopped (0 time running), no distance (length contraction maximum). From their reference frame no separation, regardless of what we seem to observe in our 4 dimensional (3 spatial/ 1 temporal) reference frame.
If there’s a balloon involved, then it must be related to:

but obviously, it’s related to:

“It is balloon!”
