Itoero Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 When you entangle photons, you entangle bosons. In order to entangle electrons, you need to split a cooper pair which is a composite boson. -A photon has no mass and electrons in a superconductor behave like they have no mass. What causes the bosonic behavior of entangled particles? Have they ever made or found true entangled fermions?

The article does not claim that you must use Cooper pairs, only that it is a convenient source. It makes no claim about rest mass being removed.
Eise Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 1 hour ago, Itoero said: In order to entangle electrons you need to remove the rest mass. Huh? Why would you need that? To have the 'distance-loophole' closed you must assure that you measure the spins of the electrons in a way that what your first measurement is, cannot reach the other measurement with light speed. That is easier with photons, of course, but that can be done with electrons too. 1 hour ago, Itoero said: in a superconductor electrons go without resistance so without rest mass Huh? They go without resistance because they behave as bosons. But bosons must not be massless. And how could one remove rest mass from an electron' Or from any particle that has rest mass? This sounds all pretty nonsensical to me. The article you refer to, just shows another way of creating entangled electrons.

I can't back this up but imo when a particle travels without resistance, it has no rest mass or measurable mass.

Other fermion pairs, too (pair production could give you entangled pairs, fermionic atoms can be entangled, etc.) But why do it a harder way, or a way that is not experimentally useful? Quote I can't back this up but imo when a particle travels without resistance, it has no rest mass or measurable mass. Uninformed opinion is worthless. https://journals.aps.org/prb/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevB.39.6425 the equation for effective mass is given. It's not zero.
Itoero Posted September 27, 2018 Author Posted September 27, 2018 These are the reasons I think a cooper pair or electrons in superconductor don't have(measurable) rest mass. -They travel without resistance (like a photon in vacuum) which imo means they travel in a wave and have only kinetic energy. This change in energy also explains why they form cooper pairs in a superconductor and not in a 'normal' conductor. You need a form of resistance to behave/travel like a particle….or to be measured like a particle -Rest mass is calculated via the rest energy. The relativistic mass is calculated via the total energy. We know bodies gain energy when velocity is increased. Then what's the meaning of rest mass at a point where a lot of energy is added through its velocity and it forms a composite boson while we know 'restmass' is problematic concept in bosons.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_in_special_relativityhttps://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/31374/how-does-higgs-boson-get-the-rest-mass

QM and general relativity have issues, at the scale where the classical theory fails (similarly, classical mechanics fails and QM is needed under certain conditions) As Strange has noted, special relativity and QM have been successfully combined.

Quantum field theory is a theoretical frame work... Uncertainty is a main concept in QM, Einstein tried to debunk H U. The absence of hidden variables(bell's theorem) is also a main concept in QM. Einstein created a hidden variable theory but did not publish it. Relativity is created from a completely different point of view then QT.

It remains a fact that QM incorporates special relativity. And no, I'm not watching a 10 minute video hoping there is a relavant point in it.
Itoero Posted October 22, 2018 Author Posted October 22, 2018 So you refuse to spend 10 minutes on a video that might debunk your belief system? You do know that the holographic principle combines the two?

Not when history tells me it will be a waste of my time. In this thread alone you've made a few outlandish claims about rest mass and given irrelevant links, which have done nothing to give me confidence that you know what you're talking about, at anything but a superficial level.
