"If you can create entanglement just by moving with respect to what you're measuring, then seemingly you've created something from nothing," said Gingrich.

Newt, stop it; it sounds like you're talking to your "ex" again...

[sit-rep]

Ya, sure... no problem...

Elementary actually...

Einstein thought this connection violated the relativity rule that information can't travel faster than the speed of light.

Good article. Quantum entanglement is a hot field.

Einstein's model concerned the apparent speed of propagation of electromagnetic phenomena--photons. He threw in gravity effects for reasons known only to him. If you are talking about electric and magnetic fields, they propagate at a natural speed which is c in a vacuum. Einstein also gave photons a certain amount of validity. Photons are still debateable as to whether there is any such particle. Point is, if you are using E-M effects to transmit information, the natural speed is c, but you can generate other speeds using phase shift propagation. If some other fields besides electromagnetic fields are used, speeds might be different. Not enough data as yet.

You beat me to it. I just posted this, but it got pulled for being a duplicate.

God works in "spooky" ways.

The photoelectric effect would seem to indicate that the photon behaves like a particle in some cases.

Ping (this is the original thread, my duplicate is gone).

There is always the risk that between the time one searches to see whether an article has already been posted, and the time at which one can post the article oneself, that someone else may post the same article.

A two-phase commit architecture would solve the problem--but I don't think it would be worth the effort :-)

Didn't George Washington warn us about this? Have we learned nothing??

The photoelectric effect

Yes.

Nevertheless, I am unalterably opposed to the tyranny of the theory of relativity. I cannot accept the word of authorities in this matter.

[taxed2death]

....of course this could be explained by entanglement.

Carver Mead disagrees ...

Or by relativistic effects messing around with the clocks in our respective reference frames (or is that HTML frames?) :-)

"However, no workable protocol has been found to date to achieve that."

Hey, just wing it:

This is known as the Uncertainty Principle. :-)

My duplicate posting was only 7 minutes after yours, so I don't know how the problem could have been avoided. I did a search (on Einstein and on NASA), and nothing turned up.
