elfstone Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I read in an amazon book review that the entanglement experiments have shown that reality is "non-local". I know that entangled particles seem to interact with each other no matter their distance but can anyone explain how can this have the above implication? What would it actually mean for physics if reality was indeed "non-local"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5614 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 What would it actually mean for physics if reality was indeed "non-local"?Well reality is non-local... so to answer your question directly; it would mean physics is exactly how it is at the moment. But I don't think that's the answer you're looking for! Due to lack of time I'll say look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_locality Well I was looking around for other links and they all seem to assume knowledge of entanglement, EPR paradox, Bell's Theorem etc. How much do you know about these 3 things? I'm aware this post doesn't really answer your question... but I really need to go now, will come back to this thread over the next few days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
