Interesting.

On a different note of Quantum Physics, I just got done watching "The Buddha" (available on Netflix). It was Buddha 101 for people like me.

Anywyay, lo and behold, the old "everything is connected" came up yet again.

For those interested, here is one of the central mysterious of quantum mechanics:
Einstein came out with his Theory of Relativity around 1905 or so. In the 1920s a group of scientists made breakthroughs in what is now called quantum mechanics. The scientific results were stunningly accurate, but the implications were bizarre.

Einstein never totally was a true believer in QM. He grudingly admitted it was a solid theory, but had a real problem with its implications. In 1935 or so, Einstein and a couple of his buddies came up with a seemingly paradox of QM which they called "Spooky Action at a Distance". This basically pointed out that QM suggested that if you took a entangled electron and moved it half way across the universe and flipped one of the parts of the electron, the other part would IMMEDIATELY move in the opposite direction. How would this be possible?

It was a valid point. However, decades later they were able to test it and lo and behold...Einstein was in fact wrong. The electrons DO move at least 10,000 times the speed of light with the measuring capabilities setting the lower limit.

This is seemingly impossible. How to explain it?

If you read my 1st post in this thread, you will see 4 explanations. All of which contradict our "real world" view of things.

But it is interesting how I keep on hearing this "everything is connected" in QP, Buddhaism, and even DMT. While there is no proof, I find it pretty interesting that something the Buddha said 2500 years ago jibes with 1925 breakthroughs in science.

I do not understand how everything is connected at all. But I think of the 4 possibilities listed, this will eventually be proven to be the correct answer.
