How would they know that two “entangled” particles “communicate” over a distance, when quantum theory says that if you examine something at the quantum level you CHANGE IT? Eh?
What’s really stupid is when someone applies quantum uncertainty to something larger than an atom, such as the Universe, or an imaginary cat. Universes popping in and out of existence. Cats being dead and alive. Sorry, but that’s not science. It’s science fiction.
Quantum Theory is based on experimental results. Yet it is the most precise theory we have in all the sciences. The theory is bizarre because the experimental results are bizarre. The experiments came first, then the theory.
The results seem bizarre because the models we have are a poor fit to the reality of whatever is going on in the physical world. They’re the best theories we have at the moment, but twisting them to fit the observed results makes the results look odd, because or observation point-of-view is off.
It is like the days of when people thought the Earth was the center of the Universe. To explain the motion of all the planets and stars required one to believe they were following very strange trajectories.
The only thing I get from reading popular literature on Quantum Physics is a certainty that reality is not at all what we think it is.
The difference between science and screwing around is taking notes.
Is it even possible that there are things that can’t be understood or explained by man?
Something as ubiquitous as gravity, for instance. While it’s something that is pretty obvious, and physicist know that gravity is a property of mass, they don’t understand how gravity works, or what the source of it is.

10th dimension physics also requires the Cat to be a Ferrari. a hammer. not in the box. me. you. a fish. etc... All at the same time.
“Some physicists just shrug and say we have to live with the fact that quantum mechanics is weird. So particles can be in two places at once, or communicate instantaneously over vast distances? Get over it.”
But if you believe in God, you’re weird and irrational.
I know the cat is dead, but not when. If I knew when, I wouldn’t know if it was dead—or alive.
Too much math involved.
They should ask jaden smith for help. He knows all about quantum theory, he’s always saying he does.
Quantum theory is not so hard, its just the language used tends to add to the confusion. And btw, things are not in two places at once nor can they ‘communicate’ faster than light. There are no solid ‘things’ only fields that can spread over distance. Things are not in two ‘states’ that have to ‘communicate’ once one state is observed ergo no communication is needed.
Here is an explanation from Penny.

You can be all those things when coming out of hyperdrive.
True dat. Ain't no Obama particle (has no mass, no value, but won't go away), or Maxine Waters Particle (most obnoxious particle).
So.... Quantum Theory is a lot like reading a book by Hillary .
True, but it did make for some very interesting stories.
