Strange events that Einstein himself called "spooky" might happen at least 10,000 times the speed of light, according to the latest attempt to understand them.

Atoms, electrons, and the rest of the infinitesimally tiny building blocks of the universe can behave rather bizarrely, going completely against the way life as we normally experience it. For example, objects can sometimes be said to exist in two or more places at the same time, or spin in opposite directions simultaneously.

One consequence of this murky realm of quantum physics is that objects can get linked together, such that what happens to one instantaneously has an effect on the other, a phenomenon dubbed "quantum entanglement." This holds true no matter how far apart these objects are from each other.

I read a different scientist performing a similar experiement

Here, they are calling it proof of anomolous communication in nature
There, they called it proof of time travel

(because the beam that reaches first travels back in time and transfers its chareceristics to the other beam)

Very nicely put...... superkick

Quantum physics should give us all the willies. It is much scarier that any ghostie.
Possible particles that might operate at speeds above the theoretical limit of the speed of light have been called 'tachyons'.
Whether or not particles can travel faster than light it seems than information can. In the end the vague nature of physics makes the point moot.
Whether something is it a particle of a wave seems to depend on ones point of reference. In fact everything seems to depend on ones point of reference.

Einstein once said that 'God does not play dice' - a reference to his discomfort with Quantum theory.
God, it would appear, does play dice - and (s)he enjoys it very much.

What happens, then, if you're an Athiest?

Very interesting post....what gets me is how things go against the way of life as we know it.

There is so much we dont know yet about our universe and energy etc....science is "just" a tool we use to define things so "it" makes sense to us and then when something "new" happens (we discover something because technology improved) it's "weird" and "against" the way it "should be".

we're learning more and more. I think it's awesome. SO MUCH out there to learn....we've barely scratched the surface.

Thats a good point about the mindset of some scientists.

I wanted to say, that the reason why Einstein may have called it spooky is because of an inner insecurity, stemming from his notions of perfect order in the universe, all explainable through formulas.

Otherwise, the seemingly endless amount of weird possibilities in the quantum world shows that the universe is actually a much much complexier work of genius then we originally thought. All sorts of random things happening at the particle-level, yet all that combines to form a seemingly orderly world at the macro level.

there is WAY much more to life/existence than we will probably ever know. a very deep subject to ponder indeed.

I find this stuff fascinating even if I don't understand it. Heck, that's part of what makes it so interesting! I'm just amazed that given enough data and conditions, we can make pretty accurate predictions on things that happen on the macroscopic level, but on the microscopic level...things don't go by any sort of set pattern. And yet, that very same microscopic stuff is what makes up everything macroscopic. Weird! yet, completely astounding on so many levels.
