That is indeed an alternative way to state the problem. I don't know at this time which approach yields the quicker solution or the simpler formulation.
To: Dan Day
...except that it's not real.
Define "real." And then test it under controlled experimental conditions.
Phil Dick said reality is that which, when you try to ignore it, doesn't go away.
That would make belief in ESP real, as the scientific community continues to ignore it, yet it persists.

I
am linking the idea that some of these extra dimensions in the string theory might be large enough to be measured in the lab, large enough to be bigger than groups of neurons in the brain, and the idea that there can be only one photon. There can be only one. Highlander. Good one. Really good one.
To: gcruse
I hope those entangled photons use birth control - or we'll have a whole entangled photon family on the verge of collapse.

a whole entangled photon familyDidn't George Washington warn us against something like that?

Yeah, he was concerned with foreign entangled photons. A valid point in the existing model, but if the unified single photon model works out, foreign entangled photons wouldn't be necessary since we can entangle our own photons to our own satisfaction.
To: gcruse

Didn't George Washington warn us against something like that? Oh, yeah, 'foreign entanglements!' Took me a while, but I got it.
To: RightWhale
we can entangle our own photons to our own satisfaction. Thanks, but I'm not that kind of guy.

It's a good omen, because it's saying quantum entanglement can survive when you might not expect it to Honey, turn off the lights for a sec. The photons are entangled again...
To: gcruse
This is not news!
Gene Rodenberry had photon torpedos figured out 35 years ago!
Of course photon can pass through metal unscathed!
And force fields too!

The Naked Singularity.How did my photons become so entangled,
My WIMPs and my leptons by all this new fangled
Gauge theory? I'm lost in quantum confusion
And chromodynamic quarks ain't the conclusion.

I'm lost in quantum confusion With any probability, the situation will resolve...
To: yendu bwam
Thank you. All I know is that I am a standard deviate.

I think ESP is real. But I think it's origins will never be understood by scientists. So a lot of BS theories on it will crop up like weeds.

My WIMPs and my leptons
The French and the Democrats?
To: gcruse
Thank you. All I know is that I am a standard deviate. Better than being a complex square root.
To: gcruse
The Naked Singularity. A completely warped streaker.
To: gcruse; Physicist
Good post. I will call Physicist in here so that he can set me straight (unlike the other thread we are on).
I am thinking FASTER THAN LIGHT COMMUNICATION will soon be possible. Combine the newfound ability to "Freeze" light with this and you have FTL communication.
Here's how... Let's say two entangled photons are "frozen", they still keep their entangled properties, even if they don't move, am I wrong about that or do we not know yet? One photon is taken on a spaceship to alpha centauri. By manipulating the photon on earth, the one on the spaceship reacts. One type of reaction could be a DOT, the other a DASH. Presto, morse code, or even bits and bytes.
Go ahead an dash my dreams on this physie, just as I may have done to you on the "WE WILL FIND ET" thread.

. But I think it's origins will never be understood by scientists."That is about as likely as man ever knowing what
constitutes the stars. In other words, it is impossible."
