In one of my first articles<\/a> for Lifeboat,* I provided an experimental methodology for demonstrating (or proving) the instantaneous \u2018communication\u2019 between quantum entangled particles. Even though changes to one particle can be provably demonstrated at its far away twin, the very strange experimental results suggested by quantum theory also demonstrate that you cannot use the simultaneity for any pu<\/em>rpose.

Now, scientists have conducted an experiment proving that objects can instantaneously affect each other, regardless o the distance between them. [continue below<\/em>]<\/p>\n

Sorry Einstein.
Quantum Study Suggests \u2018Spooky Action\u2019 is Real<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a landmark study, scientists at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands reported that they had conducted an experiment that they say proved one of the most fundamental claims of quantum theory \u2014 that objects separated by great distance can instantaneously affect each other\u2019s behavior.<\/p>\n

The finding is another blow to one of the bedrock principles of standard physics known as \u201clocality,\u201d which states that an object is directly influenced only by its immediate surroundings. The Delft study<\/a>, published Wednesday in the journal Nature, lends further credence to an idea that Einstein famously rejected. He said quantum theory necessitated \u201cspooky action at a distance<\/em>,\u201d and he refused to accept the notion that the universe could behave in such a strange and apparently random fashion.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
