Through a process
known as «squeeze expulsion,»
particles big (you and your pack) and small (rocks, chunks of snow) knock into each
other at the bottom of the avalanche, where the most impacts occur, and eventually get bumped up to the top.
Particles in the quantum realm are entangled if the act of measuring one affects the state of the
others,
no matter how distant they are.
But, they argued, this scenario violated the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, which said that it's impossible to
know both the position and momentum of a
particle at the same time [because the act of measuring one instantly and unavoidably changes the
other].
Entanglement means that two
particles can be so inextricably connected that the state of one
particle can instantly influence the state of the
other,
no matter how far apart they are.
But once you measure one of them, the odds for different outcomes for the
other particle instantaneously change,

Physicists
know it interacts only very weakly with

One of the most sought of these is the Higgs boson, also

But thanks to an eerie quantum effect
known as superposition — which allows an atom, electron or
other particle to exist in two or more states, such as «spinning» in opposite directions at once — a single qubit made of a

In 1964, physicist John Bell took on this seeming disparity between classical physics and quantum mechanics, stating that if the universe is based on classical physics, the measurement of one entangled
particle should not affect the measurement of the
other — a theory,
known as locality, in which there is a limit to how correlated two
particles can be.
Other physicists suggest that neutron stars may contain hyperons,
particles made with heavier quarks
known as strange quarks, not found in normal matter.

know one, the less precisely you can

So just one new kind of
particle; but the
other ideas of that unification that I mentioned in supersymmetry suggest that it is more complicated; that there at least are several different kinds of
particles involved, you
know, like hydrogen and oxygen in water where water also has impurities; though we are going to find out anyway what this medium is made out of.
So [it's] as though the two
particles if one is spinning up and the
other one always spinning down and even if their relative spins always will have that same sort of balance to one another,
no matter where they are in the universe.
They spew out countless
other types of
particles that we

particles at that time they were
known.
In this phenomenon, two quantum
particles (in this case,
particles of light
known as photons) are so intimately connected that changing the quantum state of one
particle simultaneously alters the state of the
other particle, even when the two
particles are separated in space.
And this is something that physicists have been arguing about for a very, very long time, but what the authors of this article point out is that the work by John Bell, but also some more recent experimental work, seems to indicate that in fact there really is a deep nonlocality to the universe; that there really is someway in which there is not some sort of missing x-factor that if we just
knew what it was that would explain everything; that we would see the dominos connecting, those invisible tiny dominos connecting those different
particles and set up the effect of going one to the
other.
