Ok … so we've got a couple of good ol' down-to-earth astronomy & discovery of new life threads running … so here's another one (with no deliberate intentions of offending the practical types out there, either).
If you thought Black Hole collisions and Holographic Universes was estoteric, avoid this one at all costs !!
So here goes … how else could anyone explain this and maintain credibility,
without using the principles and mathematics behind quantum mechanics ? (Not that I understand what they are in the first place !!
)
Physicists close two loopholes while violating local realism
Quote:
The latest test in quantum mechanics provides even stronger support than before for the view that nature violates local realism and is thus in contradiction with a classical worldview.
…
local realism consists of both realism – the view that reality exists with definite properties even when not being observed and;
locality – the view that an object can only be influenced by its immediate surroundings. If a Bell test shows that a measurement of one object can influence the state of a second, distant object, then local realism has been violated.

They go on to say that they've conducted an experiment splitting entangled photons then sending them over two physically different paths - one 144kms and the other, 6 kms, measured one of the received ones, and it still effects the other one. Only this time, they've ruled out 2 of the 3 known areas of doubt which could've influenced the measurement.
This stuff has been going on for years now, but its starting to look like everyone is running out of ideas to disprove the observation of entanglement !!
Nature is just bizarre …. !!
