Instantaneous transfer of information over distance

[Nightrain]

As some people are probably aware, recent scientific experiments in Quantum Physics have verified that quantum information can be teleported over distances immediately; which would obviously be faster than the speed of light:

Entanglement is unique to quantum mechanics in that, and involves a relationship (a "superposition of states") between the possible quantum states of two entities such that when the possible states of one entity collapse to a single state as a result of suddenly imposed boundary conditions, a similar and related collapse occurs in the possible states of the entangled entity no matter where or how far away the entangled entity is located.​

This, clearly, would disprove Einstein's belief that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. Some scientists feel that this discovery can lend credence to a certain extra-sensory connectedness we all share. Can anyone agree with or understand it? How does the reality implied by such an experiment affect us?

I can't comment on this subject much (not having a scientific mind) but my brother has genius level intelligence in the hard abstract subjects like Math and Science and breezed through an advanced Engineering Degree without lifting a finger. I asked him about this subject and he mentioned how this is a very rational idea and is taken very seriously.


Furthermore, he also mentioned to me that the harder he looks at physics, the more he is convinced in a "God" or at least an organizing intelligence. He tells me the amount of order in just one sub-atomic particle is almost impossible to comprehend and if any of the many mathematical formulas that govern the universe were off by even a tiny fraction, the entire Universe would have ripped apart.


As he is by far the most 'left brained' person I know, I was stunned to hear him talk of this subject with such enthusiasm. If he takes it seriously, chances are we are uncovering something big!

I've heard of this idea before when I was reading ghost stories, of all things. They were trying to find a scientific reason on how that could happen. It was also brought up when someone was studying identical twins and how one can suddenly 'feel' when the other gets hurt. The ghost stories that had mentioned it was about family members (in most of the cases it was mothers) who knew when someone else in the family was sick or had gotten hurt while they were a long ways away, in some cases overseas.


One reason on why mothers or twins were usually the ones that this happened to is because when a mom gets pregnant the fetus, at a few days old, releases some kind of chemical (or protein?) into the mothers body. That chemical apparently stays in the moms system the rest of her life. They think that this chemical may act as a receiver in some way. Identical twins would share the same chemical also. (I'll try to find were I read this from just to be sure I got that information right, it was a few years ago)

My understanding was that Einstein said "nothing can accelerate to the speed of light", which is different than travelling at or exceeding the speed of light. At least that was a distinction I heard.


Vibrating strings...I've seen them in dreams, like falling down the rabbit hole and becoming smaller and smaller and then I find myself surrounded with vibrating strings which increase in size as I diminish. Strange, but it had a strong positive emotion with it.

No need to be faster than the speed of light.


A reason two particles can communicate instantly although seemingly separated in space,and so appear to defy Einstein's theory that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light,is that they are not separate at all.They can traverse space so quickly,indeed instantly,because they don't have to travel at all.For all particles,electrons,protons,atoms,everything(and the "space"between)are One.One Being experiencing all this,being this.

"A Wrinkle In Time"...the tesseract...the closest distance between two ends of a string is to bring both ends next to each other. Or bring the two different eras together next to each other and step from one to the other. Apparently no physics involved but rather the manipulation of time, space and place...outside of the physical constraints of our three dimensional reality...and no need to find a way to perform Einstein's impossible acceleration to the speed of light.
