Entanglements ....




WHOA!



Entanglement

The vibrational states of two spatially separated, millimeter-sized diamonds are entangled at room temperature by beaming laser light at them (green). The researchers verified this entanglement by studying the subsequent laser pulses beamed through the system.

Scientists have linked two diamonds in a mysterious process called entanglement that is normally only seen on the quantum scale.

Entanglement is so weird that Einstein dubbed it "spooky action at a distance." It's a strange effect where one object gets connected to another so that even if they are separated by large distances, an action performed on one will affect the other. Entanglement usually occurs with subatomic particles, and was predicted by the theory of quantum mechanics, which governs the realm of the very small. [Full]


Here's more on Entanglement.    I can't help but wonder why of a sudden all this Quantum theory is cascading down on us?  Is it that it's time to know?

The goal here is to actually carry a signal, instead of just having a random state two entangled objects share being identical.

Once you can send a signal outside of your light cone, things get very interesting.

Cop pulls over the quantum physicist: "Do you know how fast you were going?"
Physicist: "No. But I know where I am."

This theory explains Rodger's old header:
"If you're trying to change minds and influence people it's probably not a good idea to say that virtually all elected Democrats are liars ... but, what the hell."
They're entangled, ergo they all lie.
