Chinese physicists measure "spooky action at a distance". At least 10.000 times the speed of light. - Polidicks

[quote=ExtremeTech]A team of Chinese physicists have clocked the speed of spooky action at a distance — the seemingly instantaneous interaction between entangled quantum particles — at more than four orders of magnitude faster than light. Their equipment and methodology doesn’t allow for an exact speed, but four orders of magnitude puts the figure at around 3 trillion meters per second. Spooky action at a distance was a term coined by Einstein to describe how entangled quantum particles seem to interact with each other instantaneously, over any distance, breaking the speed of light and thus relativity. As of our current understanding of quantum mechanics, though, it is impossible to send data using quantum entanglement, preserving the theory of relativity. A lot of work is being done in this area, though, and some physicists believe that faster-than-light communication might be possible with some clever manipulation of entangled particles.[/quote] More info at the source: [url]http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/150207-chinese-physicists-measure-speed-of-einsteins-spooky-action-at-a-distance-at-least-10000-times-faster-than-light#.UT3kqSceRrI.nujij[/url]

I've measured spooky action once when I saw this halloween themed porno, but only at the speed of fiber internet.

Was there any scary skeletons?

Those are some fucking fast skeletons. fuck ninja'd FUCK YOU

[QUOTE=Zambies!;39886388]Was there any scary skeletons?[/QUOTE] No. Only spooky ones.

I'm interested if they can transmit data with this

[QUOTE=download;39886411]I'm interested if they can transmit data with this[/QUOTE] That's pretty much the whole point of this.

[QUOTE=EvacX;39886428]That's pretty much the whole point of this.[/QUOTE] My understanding is that while quantum entanglement is faster than the speed of light, it's useless because the events transmitted are random quantum events Yes, lets rate me disagree without explaining ourselves

I was like, "that's a weird amount of significant figures for somebody who's probably not a scientist to put in the title," and then I realised that it was a case of a fucking period being used in place of a comma. How the fuck do you write decimal values if the period is used to separate large numbers?!

a rule of thumb to follow in news stories about QM is that it's less exciting than it sounds

[I]Spooky action at a distance. [/I] Throwing around the heavyweight scientific terms here, chaps.

[QUOTE=EvacX;39886475]If you can externally change something in any way, be it by the rate of said thing, intensity or some other variable, it can be used to represent data.[/QUOTE] I don't think you have any clue about this. You can't change the quantum state of something, it just happens randomly. Doing something non-quantum to it won't be transmitted by entanglement. We need a physics major here

You can't transmit data with this dipsticks that would be a literal violation of [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causality_(physics)"]causality[/URL]. Things can't happen before the thing that caused them did and so information can't propagate faster than the speed of light. These particles may be linked but you can't get any information from their states because its completely genuinely random. [editline]12th March 2013[/editline] I.E. transmitting information with this would be [I]time travel[/I]

He was absolutely certain that entangled particles had predetermined states, but then he was proven wrong when scientists proved altering the state of an entangled particle changed the state of the other entangled particle as well. Pardon me if I'm wrong, it's been ages since I last read about quantum etanglement.

Can our eyes perceive the spooky spectrum?

Can everybody on FP please not make claims about quantum physics when they don't actually understand it okay thanks. Quantum entanglement cannot send information faster than light.

Just remember that this is preprint, it hasn't been published, nor peer reviewed. [url]http://arxiv.org/pdf/1303.0614v1[/url] I would be interested to find out which journal grabs it though...

Spooky blazing skeletons, flying past the speed of light ♪

Not like that meteorite fossil thing (lol). Anyhow, I wonder how "big" this discovery really is. Doesn't seem super groundbreaking.

seriously guys just because they did it in [I]Mass Effect 2[/I] it doesn't mean it actually works
