I'm guessing there are some people here who know of Schrodenger's cat. Has anyone read Schrodenger's rabbits?
Using the simplest particles of which our universe is built, the photon and the electron, the basic units of light and matter. Measuring the spin of an electron, or the polarization of a photon—seemingly has an instantaneous effect on the outcome of a measurement of another particle some distance away.
The formal name for this puzzle is the EPR paradox, after its originators Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen. It is the most puzzling feature of the modern formulation of physics known as quantum theory. For half a century, attempts by physicists and philosophers to explain this behavior have verged on the bizarre.
This implies a signal can be sent instanteously anywhere in the universe. Anyone know of the latest info on this subject?
