Quantum Entanglement Experiment Reconfirms Physics Phenomenon Einstein Called 'Spooky'

The weird way entangled particles stay connected even when separated by large distances — a phenomenon Albert Einstein called "spooky" — has been confirmed once again, this time with a key loophole in the experiment eliminated.

The results from the new experiment confirm one of the wildest predictions of quantum mechanics: that a pair of "entangled" particles, once measured, can somehow instantly communicate with each other so that their states always match.

"Quantum mechanics is a wonderful theory that scientists use very successfully," said study co-author Marissa Giustina, a physicist at the University of Vienna. "But it makes some strange predictions." [How Quantum Entanglement Works (Infographic)]

But the new experiment goes further than past studies by eliminating one of the major loopholes in entanglement experiments.

2. I was thinking more of self regeneration first.

Then, teleportation!

5. LOL......is that from a poem or a song?nt

6. It was a little poem thrown into one of Doug Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide books

I think it was The Restaurant at the End of the Universe.
