Stunning quantum experiment confirms 'spooky action at a distance'




findings that contradict Einstein's view of "local realism".
By Delila James | May 08, 2018

Twelve teams of physicists in 10 countries, along with 100,000 volunteer gamers, recently confirmed the strange phenomenon of what Einstein somewhat derisively called "spooky action at a distance."

The results of the groundbreaking experiment, led by ICFO-The Institute of Photonic Sciences in Barcelona, Spain, are described in the journal Nature.

Known as The BIG Bell Test, participants around the world randomly generated more than 97 million data units by playing a video game on Nov. 30, 2016. In the test, pairs of entangled particles were sent to different locations, where particle attributes were measured.

If measurements tend to match up, it suggests that the measurement of one particle instantly affects the other particle, despite being separated by great distances, or implies that the particles' properties are created by the act of measuring itself.

when there's a discussion of this phenomena and I've listened to it being discussed several times....by the 2 physicists in my immediate family. It's just too f'n weird.
