quantum mechanics and god
come on guys - how can quantum mechanics not get your juices flowing? - Look - it's got a 5 star rating and everything
A little more information on quantum entangement - this stuff's gonna change the world
Quantum entanglement at its simplest is taking two particles, combining them (don't ask me how....) and then seperating them.....
now here's the remarkable part - you can move one of these particles to Texas, and the other to New York....as far away as you like.....
and.....if you make the particle in Texas spin clockwise - the one in New York will start to do the same......
wow! you can create a bond between particles.....whatever you want to call it - telepathy, shared conciousness, awareness - that's pretty amazing.
now.....you might be asking, "so what?" - but this ability gives quantum computers massive computing potential - so much so that when one is finally built, it will be able to work certain calculations out billions of times faster than at present....which will revolutionise, well, computing, research, crypotology and AI development amoungst others....
Even more interesting is the potential for quantum teleportation....now this has already been acheived for particles of light using quantum entanglement....its just a case of whether bigger things can also be teleported....its a long way off being able teleport a human (not least because the "original" copy is destroyed along the way and replaced with a clone) but still one day it could be feasible....
quantum entanglement raises so many fundamental questions to existence - such as what does it mean to exist? If an object is simultaneously cloned as the original is destroyed, is it the same as it was before??
Plus of course ideas on shared conciousness on a subatomic level are pretty theologically significant....
