Perhaps one of the most intriguing and interesting phenomena in quantum physics is what Einstein referred to as a "spooky action at a distance" - also known as quantum entanglement.
This quantum effect is behind what makes quantum computers work, as quantum bits (qubits) generally rely on entanglement to process data and information. It's also the working theory behind the possibility of quantum teleportation.
The long and short of it is this: entangled particles affect one another regardless of distance, where a measurement of the state of one would instantly influence the state of the other.
However, it remains "spooky" because - despite following the laws of quantum physics - entanglement seems to reveal some deeper theory that's yet to be discovered.
A number of physicists have been working on determining this deeper theory, but so far nothing definitive has come out.
As for entanglement itself, a very famous test was developed by physicist John Bell in 1964 to determine whether particles do, in fact, influence one another in this way.
Simply put, the Bell test involves a pair of entangled particles: one is sent towards location A and the other to location B. At each of these points, a device measures the state of the particles.
The settings in the measuring devices are set at random, so that it's impossible for A to know the setting of B (and vice versa) at the time of measurement. Historically, the Bell test has supported the spooky theory.
Now, Lucien Hardy, a theoretical physicist from the Perimeter Institute in Canada, is suggesting that the measurements between A and B could be controlled by something that may potentially be separate from the material world: the human mind.

The D-Wave is the only significant one.
I saw a first hand demonstration of it, and the claim was that the hardware had incredible capability, but that little software existed to exploit it. Whether that is true or not, it is impossible to know, but I do know that major tech companies like Lockheed Martin are investing in it significantly, so it can’t all be hype.
Maybe it's just poor wording on the part of the author. Then again, my comprehension skills could be failing.
>Jump off a 100-foot cliff, head first. Does Physics apply?
Yes, because it takes time to get there and stop.
If time is not in the equation, it’s not physics ans we know it...

I want to travel thru the universe at the speed of thought.
I tried reading the book called ‘The Tao of Physics’ by Fritjof Capra. Math has never been my strong suit, but I can still think in an abstract fashion. Some would say, I communicate in a similar way without meaning to.
Still, what I was able to wrest from the few chapters covered was a very different way of perceiving what ‘time’ meant and could mean. This was just the beginning of examining such topics in any form.
The idea that mind creates all phenomena is thousands of years old.
DNA. It has connections we do not understand yet.
It’s a language from outer space...

No, the claim is that if you donate blood, and then you experience trauma shortly thereafter, the blood that you donated is still tied to you via quantum physics, and can excrete similar hormones into the blood that is then separate from you. I don't know if the claim also says they tested that blood in an actual recipient's body, the studies seem to be limited to just testing the isolated blood that had been donated.
I have no idea if this is true, but have heard this claim several times over the years, although I've been unable to obtain further data from Google searches, which may be repressing the results. One thing that is known, without doubt, is that you can't re-use blood from someone who has died, although I think that's more explained by the lack of oxygen in the blood than any possible tie to quantum physics.

Thanks for the link, but that video was far to trippy for me. All I know is that some of the most brilliant people I’ve ever met believe in quantum physics, whether that be because it is real, or because they are straddling the line of insanity, I’m not smart enough to know.
Dune novel prequels covered that aspect as well. Two twin boys, one became a Navigator, the other a guerilla fighter to Is to free it of the Tlilaxu.
The theory is that “God” is not bound by time or distance but is in affect “above” it all looking at all events as if all of time is laid out on a scroll. In that matter “he” could see the future, the past and the now.
In this manner God is outside of our time/universe but can oversee all.
It’s a nice way to even begin to describe our relationship to time and space.
> a very different way of perceiving what time meant and could mean.
Separate sequence from time in the equation and it becomes more clear. When propagation delay is gone you must still have sequence to make sense of what happens.
Remove them both and you are a “God”...

It is not.
But for the "human" mind, there would be no such thing as "physics." I remember back when "scientists" were sure that the atom was the smallest piece of this puzzle.
I once got detention in the 9th grade for asking my physics teacher a question he couldn't answer. Ever since then I've had a pretty clear picture of "scientists" and the purity [sic] of their purported search for knowledge and truth.
The actual ‘state’ of a particle may be very different from our perception of it’s ‘state’.
We claim to know the ‘state’ of a particle we cannot see, and there is no guarantee our measurements are 100% precise. We say that taking the measurement alters the ‘state’ of the particle, yet we don’t know what the ‘state’ was before we took the measurement. This means that saying the ‘state’ changes when we measure it is based on a total lack of evidence.
...and nothing I have seen in the half-century since then has altered my position one iota.
To the body, yes.
The question stated in the title of the article is whether the Human Mind is bound by physics.
The answer is no, it is not.

No wonder they were able to get all those animals aboard.
