The Universe Is Not Locally Real, and the Physics Nobel Prize Winners Proved It

“Ted’s-ticles.”

“Snort” Well played!...I see you like your humor dry and shaken...not stirred!

[mdmathis6]

They still taste distinctively like a granny smith when eaten in the dark...LOL!

Non Sequitur to the discussion of course...I’ll go away now!

[Elsie]

Stay!

There are too many big words being used here anyway.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

It doesn’t have to be a conscious observer, though...it can just be a device that measures the polarity that forces the particle to spin one way or the other.

Have ever considered having a thought of your own, or is parroting "experts" your only talent?

[Sir_Ed]

Is there a reason you’re so rude to me? Have I offended you somehow?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I just get tired of people who know everything.

[Sir_Ed]

Well, that’s not me…I certainly didn’t mean to come off as a know-it-all.

For that, I apologize.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I apologize too.

I was expressing thoughts I had considered for a long time, knowing that Godophobes would be offended.

We have no scientific knowledge of consciousness. The globaltarians want to hijack our brains and turn us into remote controlled robots.

So how much thought have you put into this, and how much was just bowing to “scientific experts?”

[Elsie]

I like bowing to experts.

It keeps me from having to reinvent the wheel.

The odds of correctly predicting this even 200 times in a row are 1 in 1060

Not quite...

2²⁰⁰ = 1.6069380442589902755419620923412 e+60

[Sir_Ed]

Well, for myself, I love reading books about physics, especially books about quantum mechanics.

I’ve read probably 40 books on science/QM in the last year or two, plus countless articles on it, as well as a few youtube lectures, though I’m not really a fan of watching people talk.

Which hardly makes me someone who knows physics, of course! As Feynman said, anyone who claims to understand QM doesn’t understand it.

Nah, I’m just a workaday guy (I work for a printer) who enjoys reading about science and physics but has no formal background in it.

My mom was an English professor and she was friends with a physicist at UVI who used to come visit us all the time. He was with the Manhattan project when young, and I just found him fascinating. His conversations were so far above me it was astounding, but it still triggered a life-long interest.

So, I’m certainly not a know-it-all, far from it, and I apologize for having sounded that way!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

It looked like your response was a copy-and-paste job, which is what irritated me. It was straight out of Wikipedia.

[Sir_Ed]

Oh, it was cut-and-pasted out of Wikipedia! The reason was because I usually post to Freep using my iPhone and i find it difficult to use its virtual keyboard, so oftentimes I have copied and pasted stuff that was too laborious to type out!

But I’d been fascinated by entanglement for many, many years and I’ve been reading about the various experiments to test it out, especially the Canary Islands experiment, where information about each separate half of an entangled particle was virtually instantaneously transmitted across two measurement sites: faster than the speed of light!

I just thought it’d be quicker to paste said results rather than laboriously typing them out on a virtual keyboard!

But I totally get your objections, now!

See ya, I gotta get back to work!

[Sir_Ed]

UCI, (UC/Irvine) not UVI!
