Quantum Entanglement, Wormholes and the like

[Dominatus]

So I was looking on Science Daily yesterday and happened upon this:

Now, I found this very interesting, but don't know much about quantum physics. So, I would appreciate an explanation, and would enjoy a discussion on this topic.

As usual, horrible reporting. What scientists found is another gravity-QM duality. There are actually a few known ones already. And it's not really surprising, since most of the QM is built on the same symmetry principles as General Relativity, so it's likely that you'll find systems in both that behave in dual ways.

Ack. Just read the article again. Cutting through the crap, it made more sense. Why even mention black holes and wormholes if the report is actually on QP's and further evidence supporting QE? And to mention that "if you were on the edge of one black hole and someone else was on the edge of another, and you looked in, you would not be able to see them" ... Um, duh?

No, that last bit is actually important. It shows that such a wormhole follows the no-communication theorem of the entanglement in Quantum Mechanics. I mean, yeah, it's obvious, but it's an important feature, so it's worth mentioning.

Ah, okay then. Actually showed that article to a buddy who's big on quantum physics- he asked me "what kind of stupid did I just read". I can see how it's worth mentioning since it confirms a theory, but as for the rest, seems like the guy doesn't really understand it. My physics teacher also took a look and agrees.

It's an article in a popular publication. These are almost always worse than useless.

[Dominatus]

Agreed. Still, one has to stay caught up on science somehow... Besides, once or twice a week they post something not only interesting, but accurate.

This may help resolve some of the debate.

Well it looks like entangled photons and electrons can communicate faster than the speed of light at least in the micro second time frame.
