Spooky Action at a Distance…

In the early 20^th century, two notable physicists held opposing views. According to Albert Einstein’s theory of special relativity, the speed of light imposed a limit on information propagating within the universe. Yet it seemed under special conditions within quantum indeterminacy, as supported by Niels Bohr, that the limit didn’t hold. Einstein coined this special situation as “spooky action at a distance”.

Finally, late in the 20^th century, technology improved to the point where the issue could be put to the test. In a series of experiments, most notably the Aspect experiment, it was determined that two particles could “communicate”, though separated by space, in no time. Thus supporting Bohr and the indeterminacy principle of quantum mechanics.
