I tried to share this, but my sub-space communicator is down.

Open a sub-space channel, Lieutenant Uhura.
Will this mean better Weismann scores?
Sorry, I still can’t get past that whole conservation of angular momentum thingy.
My interpretation of quantum entanglement is that we don’t really live in a 3-dimensional universe like the one we perceive. Dimensions and space are an illusion.
How do electrons get ‘entangled’, and how does one keep them that way?
Can they be divorced?
To put this discovery in “Star Trek” terms, it’s more like “sub-space transmission” than a teleporter. For you non-geeks, “sub-space transmission” was the ability to communicate with earth or another starship in real time, even though they might be thousands of light years apart.
A practical application of this in the micro scale would be to distribute the CPU clock across the chip. It reduces heat, decreases complexity of the chip, and would allow for many muliple clocks. This could account for a significant increase in CPU/chip/ASIC performance.
Wake me up when they can do something useful with this. At least 20 miles land based and globally via satellite. Or better yet, globally with no satellite.
Or better yet, time travel.
“Dimensions and space are an illusion.”
That, of course, begs the questions of “then what is not an illusion”, and “an illusion to whom or what”? But I don’t mean to hijack the thread.
It’s all an illusion, just like a video game.
The article is full of hype and empty of information. How do you entangle two atoms? How do you know which ones are entangled? How do you separate them after they are entangled? How much energy is used in the process? Observing a quantum state destroys it.
Any theory that states that a “cat” is both alive and dead in a box until someone opens the box, is a false theory. Where are the animal rights people protesting about cat abuse?
Or, energy in the local limit. I bang my knee and it hurts. Scale the energy up though, and I’d bet things get weird pretty fast.
Thanks for posting this. Fascinating (if not spooky) stuff.
