IQOQI ping.

Someone who appreciates symmetry came up with that name.

Is the result of this experiment suggesting that even when “entanglements” are eliminated, the act of observation still affects the object observed??

I love quantum mechanics.

Hmm??? (head scratching)
So. In effect what they're saying is that Schrödinger's cat IS both Dead and Alive.

I'm sorry it must be too early for me. So *for now* I'll stick with what Einstein said regarding Quantum Mechanics:

God does not play dice with the Universe.
According to the 'Quantum World' none of us are here. (/s)

"We were able to demonstrate experimentally that quantum mechanical measurements cannot be interpreted in a classical way even when no entanglement is involved," Radek Lapkiewicz explains. The findings relate to the theoretical predictions by John Stewart Bell, Simon B. Kochen, and Ernst Specker.
Where are the findings? Where is the experiment described? Is this just an abstract? I followed the link and still can't find "the rest of the story".
