Entanglement in the news

Hi, Moh

We were talking about entanglement. You might be interested in the following:

Of course, the photon isn't actually "teleported". It is somehow replicated in the "entangled" photon at the other end. This is very interesting science. For the purposes of our recent discussions, it shows that it is not direct, "physical" influence on the particle that matters, but the manifestation of an underlying, invisible, law that pairs the entangled particles.

I might note that since we all ultimately came from the Big Bang, we too are somehow "entangled": what either of us does, affects reality in ways that aren't readily apparent. As Jesus said, "Nothing is hidden, that won't be revealed". Also, as he said, "God will reward openly, the gift given in secret".

Very interesting stuff. Shalom shalom :-)
