Accordingly, Stapp is careful to distinguish between (a) attributing definite spin values in more than one direction to a particle like the neutron and (b) asserting that if the spins of certain pairs of such particles are or were to be measured in this or that direction, a specific mathematical relation will or would be found to hold, on a statistical basis, between the spin values of the members of the pairs.

Stapp is not suggesting that the actual results of spin measurements for one member of a pair of until - recently interacting particles will be affected by the choice of an axis for measuring the spin of the other member of the pair — even if this choice is made after the particles have ceased interacting.

In other words, the possible spin values (with respect to a given axis) for one member of a pair of until - recently interacting particles are not the same in case the spin of the second member of the pair is to be measured along one axis as they would be if the spin of the second particle were to be measured along another axis — even if the selection of the axis for the second particle can be made after the two particles have ceased interacting.

But what happens to this link and the information it holds when one of the pair falls in, leaving its twin to become a particle of Hawking radiation (see main story)?

Preserving their uncertainty would require one particle in the pair to instantly know and react when the other is measured — even at the other end of the universe.

In quantum physics, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle states that one can not assign, with full precision, values for certain pairs of observable variables, including the position and momentum, of a single particle at the same time even in theory.

The Higgs is not detected directly, but via the things it decays into, such as pairs of photons or particles called Z bosons.

This Star Trek — like feat is possible because of a phenomenon called entanglement, in which pairs of particles become linked in such a way that measuring a certain property of one instantly determines the same property for the other, even if separated by large distances.

Equally striking, if less well known, are the so - called squeezed quantum states: Normally, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle means that one can not measure the values of certain pairs of physical quantities, such as the position and velocity of a quantum particle, with arbitrary precision.

Our understanding of the structure of matter was revolutionized in 1964 when American physicist, Murray Gell - Mann, proposed that a category of particles known as baryons, which includes protons and neutrons, are composed of three fractionally charged objects called quarks, and that another category, mesons, are formed of quark - antiquark pairs.
