   This phenomenon, often called spooky action at a distance by Einstein, implies a faster than light influence seemingly contradicting relativity. The Nobel Prize-winning experiments precisely tested this conflict. They demonstrated that the instantaneous correlation predicted by quantum theory held true even when local hidden variables were ruled out. In essence, the experiments proved that quantum theory won. They confirmed the existence of these instantaneous non-local effects directly contradicting the classical local realism implied by Einsteinian relativity. Smith notes the immense signifi…

   Einstein clung to the belief that there must be an underlying objective reality that exists independent of whether we observe it or not. We often hear Einstein's famous line about God not playing dice with the universe. So was his main sticking point, the uncertainty principle, the inherent randomness and indeterminacy. >> Well, that was definitely part of the initial skirmish. Yes, he hated the probabilistic nature of it. But modern analysis of their long dialogue, looking back at their letters and papers, suggests that Einstein's chief source of discomfort, the thing that really bother…

   The question is, "Can you tell if it's you who's responsible for this relative motion, or maybe nothing happened to you and the other train is moving the opposite way?" And the claim of relativity is that you really cannot tell. You can tell there is motion between the two trains that wasn't there before. That's very clear if you look outside but there is no way to tell what actually happened when you were sleeping. Whether you were given the velocity of 200 to the right or the other train was given a velocity of 200 to the left or maybe a combination of the two, you just cannot tell. That's t…

   And Einstein was also troubled by a particular detail of this unknown thing called the active measurement, which is if you've got a nice spread out wave function, let's just do a single particle. So we can actually picture that wave function just in three dimensions. So you have this nice spread out wave function and then you measure it and you find the particle here. Then this algorithm suggests that this wave has changed everywhere is now spiked. It has its support where the experimenttor found the particle. Einstein was like wait how's that possible? Right? You got this spread out wave in p…

   At that time they cannot say we are at rest and everyone is going the opposite way because no one else is in danger, but they are. So, accelerated motion will produce effects. You cannot talk your way out of that. But uniform velocity will produce no effects on you and no effects on the other person. You can detect relative motion but you cannot in any sense maintain that you are moving and he's not or that he's moving and you are not. You can say, "I am at rest, things are the same as before, the train is moving the opposite way." Now, if you go in the Amtrak and you look outside and you don'…

   Causal notions can, if at all, only be legitimately employed in contexts in which we can isolate a small set of factors of interest as those responsible for the occurrence of an event—the dominant cause or causes—by drawing a distinction between causes and background conditions. Yet such a distinction, it is argued, cannot be drawn in physics. Call this the dominant cause challenge. Causes necessitate their effects, but the fundamental laws of physics are non-deterministic. This is the determinism challenge. Causal relations are relations among spatio-temporally localized events, yet fundament…

   Einstein  distorted the world for his time and geometric   unity is ultimately, if you want to not look at  the map and you want to look at the territory,   you have to keep putting in a new map until  finally, in the end, reality is its own exegesis.   There's no tool to look at it. So geometric unity  says you're not living on one space. You're living   on a relationship between two spaces. And in that  relationship, you've put the quantum on one space,   the classical on another, which decreases the  amount of c…

   Actually, Schrödinger did that,   right? Schrödinger had a modified idea. Again,  Schrödinger had an idea of modified gravity.   And he said, “no, no, no, no. Einstein does  these non-symmetric metrics. But actually,   a deeper structural concept than the  metric is the connection.” And there   are connections that come from a metric, and  they're more general connections, right? So,   that was Schrödinger's idea. Actually, a wonderful  book by Schrödinger, Space-Time Structure.   A very beautiful, thin book o…

    The funny thing to me is this might be why even today, people struggle with Einstein’s theory of relativity. It is because they just cannot fathom the change in perspective of time is completely relative to the observer and the body in action. Moreover, when you think about it, it just plain makes primal sense. And when you begin to realize that the earth is moving at an incredible speed daily, but you can’t feel or perceive it every minute of every day, you begin to understand that this biologic and physical truth is revealed to your consciousness every day the sun rises and sets. Maybe, It c…
