5. The locality problem is fascinating to me.

If locality isn't required for an action, that means one thing can physically affect something else on the other side of the world, or even the other side of the universe. We know this happens in an indirect way, but if it can happen directly, that would totally revolutionize our view of the world. I would like to know how that would apply to consciousness as well as more concrete things. If my thoughts here could be sent to someone in Japan, for instance, or even someone in the next room, that would be just about the most exciting thing I can think of.
