Testing Einstein's 'Spooky Action at a Distance'
smooth wombat writes "Travelling to a time in the past is, as far as we know, not possible. However, Einstein postulated a faster-than-light effect known as 'spooky action at a distance'. The problem is, how do you test for such an effect? That test may now be here. If all goes well, hopefully by September 15th, John Cramer will have experimented with a beam of laser light which has been split in two to test Einstein's idea. While he is only testing the quantum entanglement portion, changing one light beam and having the same change made in the other beam, his experiment might show that a change made in one beam shows up in the other beam before he actually makes the change."
he sees the change and it startles him to not make the change? therefore will a paradox be created that either consumes our local universe into a giant black hole created at the point of origin or will the researcher cease to exist?
Will Schrödinger's cat have the answer to the question?
Do not look at laser with remaining good eye.
What if he sees the change and because of that he chooses not to alter the laser beam. Will he create a parallel universe?
