Hi Koan <CHUCKLE> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Well, John that is something I might have thought of stoned-lol. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Thanks - if your gonna start setting rules like that then I won't be able to post<g> ... only kidding ... <<<<<<<<<< The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum physics put forth by Neils Bohr says if one cannot view it, it does not exist and all we can say about quantum physics is that it is phenomona. <<<<<<<<<< Well - all I got as a comeback is scads of rightous indignation but alas ... you actually pulled your punches ... and we're being nice .... i.e. according to these guys Bohr WAS right .... >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Einstein,not surprisingly,rejected this argument.But now Nicolas Gisin and his colleagues at the University of Geneva have performed the experiment Einstein proposed,with amazing results. Instead of an exploding molecule they used pairs of photons - packets of light - squirted down optical fibres in opposite directions.After travelling six miles,their properties were measured in special detectors and compared. And - as Einstein demanded - the measurements were made so fast that there was no chance of the photons "telling" each other what had happened to them, even if the messages went at the speed of light. According to a report in this week's New Scientist,the results were unequivocal;just as Bohr had predicted,the photons behaved as if they were in instantaneous communication with each other. So Einstein had got it wrong after all - but do the results also mean his famous law against faster-than-light travel is also wrong? Not quite: as Bohr claimed,the particles aren't really beaming messages from place to place - they're actually "entangled" with each other,forming a huge, fuzzy, cosmic web that keeps them almost literally in touch with each other. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> To sum this up: All this really means is I'm not playing in your backyard anymore AND I'm taking my soccer ball home! <g> Very much enjoyed this - thanks! regards, John link: fortunecity.com
