Ummmm.....

Or is it 8 now with the Vostok bacterium?
Wondering why this is coming in a bunch like this. Usually there are several years or at lest months in between. Now all this in a matter of weeks. Why the speed up? What is going on?
Well, if you want space travel...
It’s not a speed, it’s an acceleration. And it is probably the same as the Speed of Gravity.
If E=MC^2, and if Gravity (G) is equal to the Energy of a Mass (i.e. G=E/M), then G=C^2.
Any bets that “spooky action at a distance” turns out to also be the acceleration (not speed!) C^2?!
Physicist John Bell proved such faster than light connections several decades ago.
The book “Quantum Reality,” written by Nick Herbert in 1985, gives a thorough description of Bell’s Theorem. According to Herbert, the connection between entangled atomic particles is “unmediated, unmitigated, and immediate.” IOW, Herbert goes with the “instantaneous” connection not the four orders of magnitude (admittedly a baseline) discussed in the article.
It’s not spooky because all quantum particles/waves have undergone phase entanglement. They are related.
Thus, the universe is non-local, and on at least some level (deep reality, perhaps,) we are all connected with each other and everything else.
Yes, it is fascinating, and because it is counter intuitive, it is difficult to understand.
I can’t claim that I get it.
I added the boldface. So spooky action at a distance is at least 10,000 times faster than light, and it may be instantaneous.
Amazing stuff.
All of you are nuts. The universe is flat.
ChiComm apes can’t even measure the correct waist size of men’s underwear.
I seriously doubt Einstein “railed” against the concept, as opposed to expressing his disagreement.
