Physicist's Reaction...

The aforementioned experiments dealt with quantum-entangled particles.

“Since all quanta have interacted with one another in a single quantum state and since there is no limit to the number of particles that could interact in a single quantum state, the universe on a very basic level could be a “single” quantum system that responds together for further interactions.”

Robert Nadeau and Menas Kafatos, The Non-Local Universe: The New Physics and Matters of the Mind (New York: Oxford University Press, 1999), pp. 178-179.

“Each atom turns out to be nothing but the potentialities in the behavior pattern of others. What we find, therefore, are not elementary space-time realities, but rather a web of relationships in which no part can stand alone; every part derives its meaning and existence only from its place within the whole.”

Henry P. Stapp, “Quantum Theory and the Physicist’s Conception of Nature: Philosophical Implications of Bell’s Theorem,” in ibid., p. 54.
