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."

    articles like this make me think slashdot should stick to things readers might have some knowledge about, like kneeling on a hardwood floor to eat out a girl's pussy.

    All you need to do is install a copy of RedHat Linux. If you are used to any other distribution, it immediately feels like going 3 years back in time.

    Mod parent Insightful. This ain't funny. It's a one-line proof by contradiction that the experiment won't work. Unless there is no free will, in which case.....
