Why Einstein Gets the Last Laugh

The physicist scoffed at the idea of quantum entanglement, calling it "spooky action at a distance." And while it has in fact been proven to exist, this entanglement can't be used to transmit any usable information.

Two units moving in unison no matter the location. That IS the love letter, in a metaphorical sense. It's also a long distance relationship.

wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle, yeah!

Uhh, how about photon entanglement...

wiggle = 1 , not wiggle = 0

is it so hard ? info can be sent :P

I didn't like that tube. He makes a mistake as far I can understand. On one hand he says the other entangled object is aware of what is going with the first one. Thus useful information get across. But then on the other hand he says no useful information get across. Even if it's impossible to carry payload through space you can do it with time by letting the time interval between break of wave function be your information input.

@OverLordSky In no way did you flip my leg of the argument over into something else. You displayed arrogance. Which is meant to disprove anything I say? You claim a knowledge of philosophy, yet all philosophers I've heard of are true intellectuals. Just like any retard can tell who is and isn't a genius, I can tell you aren't a fucking intellectual. You're a moron. You barely have consciousness. You know not of what you say or do.

Go get an education you fucking troll.

@OverLordSky You display no accurate argument whatsoever. You have given me no evidence to believe you're smarter than Michio Kaku, who is one of the leading contributers to string theory and one of the smartest men to have ever lived. You are a militant moron, you do not understand theoretical physics so you disbelieve in it.

Lack of comprehension isn't proof or an example of lack of evidence. It shows your close-mindedness.

@jackhwo1 If we did, then you would still think the earth is flat because a smart guy told you it was so. The very fact that I do not readily believe what im being told by some korean guy just means my mind is not as narrow as yours. (fuck you)

[OverLordSky]

@jackhwo1 You then go on to say that you know how genius's convey information, when you dont even know the several different meanings of the word. At the very least it would take one to see one, if at all - and i doubt you are. Not only that but one meaning of the word is origonality, so apparently if I dont convey information in an unorigonal way, according to you, I am not a genius. Thats called a paradox.

[OverLordSky]

@jackhwo1 You dont seem to even realise that I owned you with your own analagy. Obviously I should have conveyed the information at your level.

I said the very same thing that you said to me, right back to you.

You left no possibility that I may infact know what im talking about and infact presumed it to be impossible.

Do you not realise you have done the exact opposite of what you argue?

@chr982 Ever heard of order in chaos? nothing is random, though it may appear that way.

@AsbestosAlbatross My mind was just fucking blown there's brain matter all on my computer screen holly shit man!
