FAR APART, TWO PARTICLES RESPOND FASTER THAN LIGHT by Malcolm W. Browne
(From the New York Times Science Section, Tuesday, July 22, 1997)
It was as if some ghostly bridge across the city of Geneva had permitted two photons of light nearly seven miles apart to respond simultaneously to a stimulus applied to just one of them.
The twin-photon experiment by Dr. Nicolas Gisin of the University of Geneva and his colleagues last month was the most spectacular demonstration yet of the mysterious long-range connections that exist between quantum events, connections created from nothing at all, which in theory can reach from one end of the universe to the other.
In essence, Dr. Gisin sent pairs of photons in opposite directions to villages north and south of Geneva along optical fibers of the kind used to transmit telephone calls. Reaching the ends of these fibers, the two photons were forced to make random choices between alternative, equally possible pathways.
Since there was no way for the photons to communicate with each other, "classical" physics would predict that their independent choices would bear no relationship to each other. But when the paths of the two photons were properly adjusted and the results compared, the independent decisions
by the paired photons always matched, even though there was no physical way for them to communicate with each other.
Albert Einstein sneered [at] the very possibility of such a thing, calling it "spooky action at a distance." Scientists still (somewhat shamefacedly) speak of the "magic" of "quantum weirdness." And yet all experiments in recent years have shown that Einstein was wrong and that action at a distance is real."
One of the leading experimentalists in quantum optics, Dr. Raymond P. Chiao of the U. of California, Berkeley, hailed the Geneva experiment as "wonderful."
But an underlying enigma of quantum mechanics remains unfathomed.
The connections that persist between distant but entangled particles are "one of the deep mysteries of quantum mechanics," Dr. Chiao said in an interview. "These connections are a fact of nature proven by experiments, but to try to explain them philosophically is very difficult," he said.
Quantum events obey the laws of quantum theory, which governs the behavior of minute objects like atoms and subatomic particles, including photons of light. By contrast with the laws of "classical" physics (which apply to the relatively large objects of the everyday world), quantum physics often exhibits behavior that seems impossible.
One of the weird aspects of quantum mechanics is that something can simultaneously exist and not exist; if a particle is capable of moving along several different paths, or existing in several different states, the uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics allows it to travel along all paths and exist in all possible states simultaneously. However, if the particle happens to be measured by some means, its path or state is no longer uncertain. The simple act of measurement instantly forces it into just one path or state.
Physicists call this a "collapse of the wave function." The amazing thing is that if just one particle in an entangled pair is measured, the wave function of both particles collapses into a definite state that is the same for both partners, even separated by great distances.
Comment.
The Term **Quantum jump is a new play word/fill in the blank word for outcomes.
Clearly....quantum dynamics is a field of study with much comment that it is percived....yet not fully understood.
A field of endeavour with more suprises for sure : )
Specialists in astrophysics and all those big names..have noted that *Comets begin to light up when passing the Orbital quadrants of Jupiter and Saturn.
Both are kicking out electricity and other particle flow.
Is *Quantum jump occuirng here?..I think so.

Instruments
RPWS: Radio and Plasma Wave Science
The major functions of the Radio and Plasma Wave Science (RWPS) instrument are to measure the electric and magnetic fields and electron density and temperature in the interplanetary medium and planetary magnetospheres.
The RPWS instrument will be used to investigate electric and magnetic waves in space plasma at Saturn. Plasma is distributed by the solar wind, and it is also contained by the magnetic fields (the magnetospheres) of bodies such as Saturn and Titan. The Cassini RPWS instrument will measure the AC electric and magnetic fields in the interplanetary medium and planetary magnetospheres and will directly measure the electron density and temperature of the plasma in the vicinity of the spacecraft.
RPWS will study the configuration of Saturn's magnetic field and its relationship to Saturn Kilometric Radiation (SKR), as well as monitoring and mapping Saturn's ionosphere, plasma, and lightning from Saturn's atmosphere.
