Why Does Quantum Entanglement Defy All Logic? | Secrets Of Quantum Physics | Progress

Professor Jim Al-Khalili traces the story of arguably the most important, accurate and yet perplexing scientific theory ever: quantum physics.
The story of quantum physics starts at the beginning of the 20th century with scientists trying to better understand how light bulbs work. This simple question soon led scientists deep into the hidden workings of matter, into the sub-atomic building blocks of the world around us. Here they discovered phenomena unlike any encountered before - a realm where things can be in many places at once, where chance and probability call the shots and where reality appears to only truly exist when we observe it.
Albert Einstein hated the idea that nature, at its most fundamental level, is governed by chance. Jim reveals how in the 1930's, Einstein thought he'd found a fatal flaw in quantum physics. This was not taken seriously until it was tested in the 1960s. Professor Al-Khalili repeats this critical experiment, posing the question does reality really exist, or do we conjure it into existence by the act of observation?
Elsewhere, we explore how the most famous law of quantum physics - The Uncertainty Principle - is obeyed by plants and trees as they capture sunlight during the vital process of photosynthesis. Could quantum mechanics explain the greatest mystery in biology - evolution?

[@JoeDeglman]

Quantum entanglement does not defy all logic. There is this little thing called Faraday rotation that you have to completely ignore to make believe that spooky action of photons is real. Photons sent in opposite directions will always have opposite spins when sent in opposite direction. Photon spin and EM wave polarity will be dictated by a cosine function WRT the polarity of the magnetic field. Electron spin will reorient back to orthogonal to the direction of travel, per the left-hand rule. Electron spin is not dictated by the polarity of the magnetic field like a photon is. You might be able to control the spin, but it will always reorient to orthogonal within a few nanoseconds, when moving.

I found a very simple mathematical model for entanglement, tunneling and a parallel universe, and I am so impressed with this gorgeous video that I want to share this neat little discovery. Take a 10 by 10 grid, and fill it randomly with digits between 0 and 9, then add a "wall" that divides the grid in half. Now pick a grid cell, and use the number in the cell as the distance for a jump. If the number is 2, for example, jump 2 cells north, south, east, or west. You then have the start of a number tree, with up to four branches. If the cell you land on contains 4, then jump 4 cells, etc. Repeat till no further jumps are possible without colliding with other branches of the tree. Think of the cells that contain 0 as "dark matter" or "control rods". In this way, we can transform every non-zero cell in the grid into a tree of cells -- which is a bit like transforming a particle into a wave, or like transforming a photon into a whole tree of entangled photons. We end up with "parallel universes". The first "universe", the grid, is spatial: cells are adjacent. The second, the "universe of the number trees", is non-spatial: the trees are intertwined and non-adjacent. Look at one of these trees: chances are that it "tunnels" right through the "wall". Now change the color of one of the grid cells, and propagate that change through the tree and back: All of the cells caught up in that tree change color together: "entanglement"! Now try to locate a particular cell. If we are looking in "the wrong universe", then we will see not a cell but a whole tree of cells, a whole tree of possibilities. Such a simple model! Maybe the universe is just as simple!

[@deborahdabbs9208]

[@r.w.emersonii3501]

​@@deborahdabbs9208 What is the model you found? I remember puzzling over how a "particle" can be a "wave". But mathematical entities often have multiple identities or representations. Is the tuple ( 1, 2, 3) a point? or the polynomial function 1 + 2*x + 3*xx? As a function, it represents an infinitude of points. Now, in mathematics, each representation has its own space or universe, and these spaces are parallel, inasmuch as we can map one into the other. What if we applied this intellectual strategy to physics, and treated particles as residents of one universe and waves as residents of another?! That's where we might find the missing parallel universe! Neat!

These kalāpas, the basic building blocks of the material universe are nothing but mere vibrations.

I finally realized that if a singularity is infinitely small and and time is slowed to a stop around it, in a shrinking universe a singularity would appear massive because we see it in the past. Now if we can observe a singularities size after it has exhausted it’s “food source” and it still grows in size then that WOULD REALLY BE SOMETHING unless the slowing of time around the singularity is an effect of the material surrounding the singularity and not the singularity itself.

The logic of quantum suggests that it gives a feeling of something being there that as for the birds, allows to detect and follow something known (a rest area) as the probability of success that is shared as well.

If quantum entanglement is instant over vast distances, as three scientists received the 2022 Nobel prize for proving, then it may well be possible to send a message across the Universe instantly with the advantage/disadvantage that not only will the receiver know the message before it’s been sent but the transmitter will know the answer before he’s sent the question.

[@Nathan-eq3zs]

Sounds like you don't have to ask other people questions when you can just answer them yourself.

[@JoeDeglman]

This is one of the few things that Einstein got right. There is not 'spooky action at a distance.' Photons are dipole particles and will always entangle in a crystalline manner. Photons when disentangled will always have an opposite spin when sent in opposite directions. There is no communication at a vast distance, other than if you receive one you know the other will have the opposite spin. This fact is clear evidence that the current models of the atomic nucleus are wrong and that a face-centered-cubic crystalline lattice of the atomic nucleus is the most likely model for the nucleus. But some version of a crystalline lattice particle structure explains the nucleus. This was suggested by Eugene Wigner in 1937, and he won the Nobel prize for it in 1963.

[@thomchristensen990]

It's a good observation. I do wonder whether quantum entanglement is not a process of information sharing, but rather a sign that our universe is deterministic; that if you create quantum particles, i.e, particles created at the same moment in time under the same circumstances, that these two particles are simply following a wave function for a given time T where T is the moment of observation and therefore resulting in the only possible outcome at that moment. If that is the case, then they are not really entangled. Their state would simply be defined by the wave function. If you know the function and all its inputs then you can know the state of the particle at the time of observation and so information is conserved.

[@JoeDeglman]

@@thomchristensen990 One thing that is known is that protons and neutrons both have a magnetic dipole moment. It is generally accepted that particles are ejected from the atom by coulomb forces. According to Norman D. Cook in 'Models of the Atomic Nucleus: Unification Through a Lattice of Nucleons,' spin is not determined by a wave function inside the nucleus, but due to the dipole of the nucleons as they are ejected out of the nucleus. Cook also argues that since the spin of an ejected nucleon is caused by the positions of the ejected nucleon in 3 possible relationships to other nucleons inside the nucleus. This is the same spin relationship that leads to the erroneous quark model; Cook argues that the quark model is invalid as well. The 1/3, 2/3 spin relationship of particles ejected when splitting a proton is more likely due to a crystalline structure in the proton. The quark model requires at least 4 dipole particles in order for the observed spins to be valid. The quark model is not due to charge in the nucleus, but a crystalline dense pack relationship of dipole particles that make up a proton. According to Cook and Edo Kaal, 'The Nature of the Atom: An Introduction to the Structured Atom Model,' a crystalline dense pack or dipole particle model is more accurate to describe spin than a wave-based model. They also argue that the Uncertainty Principle is used to defibrillate the failures of the current models of the nucleus. My argument is that it is commonly accepted by models, such as Pual Dirac, that photons are dipole in nature. That photon's spin is an intrinsic property due to crystalline entanglement.

[@JoeDeglman]

@@thomchristensen990 Basically I think that this makes the case that particles are not created from waves, but matter is created from dipole particles. The particle chart is backwards in that they are not creating new particles in super colliders, but they are breaking matter apart along fissures in the crystalline structures of matter. All matter is made of photons. So, neutrinos are just various configurations of photons busted apart from matter. Electrons and protons are particles, not manifestations of waves. Electrons and positrons are particles and magnetic monopoles; halves of photons. All charged particles are condensers and carriers of photons. An electron, proton, or positron, condenses and carries 1/ mole of photons (each) around it.

[@25_26]

sending data back in time is possible due to quantum entanglement which has been awarded with nobel prize for the proof this year. Einstein was wrong about Bohr's proposition and called it a spooky action but in fact this also fits in his famous equation which is e=mc2/√1-(v2/c2). Because always worked with real numbers which corresponds to particles with positive mass, and only "particles" without mass are light and gluons which are called luxons. But if you use i2=-1 imaginary numbers which corresponds to particles with negative mass, and with the help of lorentz equation backup, then mathematically there proves that there must be particles with negative mass and they must be always faster than light which are called tachyons, in fact those particles can create faster than light zones of space-time which have different laws of physics, and when those zones interact with each other, the quantum entanglement effect appears which is already proved and nobel prized this year. For the causality preservation, they need to build closed systems which cannot directly interact with the known universe, or another option is the parallel universes which is more logical because if you try to break the causality effect of universe, there might be catastrophic results in a single universe theory. So in parallel universes, yes you can send data back in time actually. Einstein himself even feared this possibility and made tachyonic phone taught experiment with his collegues and called this spooky action eventually. But in the year of 2022, now they accept and proved that is real. Whoever has this technology will be the master of this universe and maybe fhe others. Because when you can change the past, you can create a whole new reality and this means basically you become "the god" with the saying of religious people.

Ok, interesting, it really is. While entanglement allows for instantaneous correlations between particles or may I say state of being? - Retrocausal as well as effecting now and the future. Then allowing for the instantaneous transfer of information or knowledge faster than the speed of light. Does though violate the laws of causality and the law of speed of light as being limitating factors? Opposed to instantaneous - as instantaneous time, simultaneous, braking the limitations of time and space - Then time would be only an illusion, with time as one, the past-now-future. That would be an interesting state of being, wouldn't it? ;) A parallel state of being, but real. Yeah, would like that :)

[@nicka.papanikolaou9475]

Wonderful description of entanglemnt. However, Dr. Al-Khalili does not mention one simple fact for entangled particles: To be entangled, they have to always come from th same system. i.e. they must initially be together in a moleule of atom. Electons in different molecules are not entangled unless they find themselves in the same molecule or atom. The second thing is that experimental QM is deterministiic. Third, that what we experimentally observe, is limited by the limitations of our methods, that is why we are forced to say "the particles are simultaneously here and there". In atoms and molecules they are confined to the vicinity of a nucleus or a molecule in shared orbitals.

[@NondescriptMammal]

Motion never exists at a specified point in time. The mass might possess a momentum vector though.

@@TheVincent0268 Maybe I misunderstand. Even classical mechanics require the passage of time for motion to exist at all. Your comment asked how motion and position exist at the exact same moment. They don't.

​@@NondescriptMammal this paradox is never taught in school. Both are aspects of our reality and nobody seems to question the fact that they can't co-exist in time. However, I always hear that QM is counter-intuitive where CM, evidently, is not.

[@NondescriptMammal]

​@@TheVincent0268 I think maybe in CM the explanation is that they just replace the aspect of "motion" with "momentum", as a potential kinetic energy that exists in the object as a result of some unspecified force applied at a previous moment in time?

Quantum entanglement is like seeing two ends of a three dimensional object in a two dimensional space. The quantum particles are just the parts we can see of something that exists in another dimension.

Nothing at all can be seen in a two dimensional space, because it would have no thickness at all. "Two dimensional space" is a mathematical construct of geometry that cannot be seen or demonstrated in the real world. There is no such thing as a two dimensional object in the physical world.

Who can criticize this ? Isn't quantum entanglement and emergence referring to photo electric molecules are double bonds between carbons entanglement of energy photons and electrons emerging from the nearby halogen or transition metal. ?? The spin flip of protons on hydro carbons is the nuclear magnetic resonance NMR and MRI imaging system? We can discern the electronic environment of protons by detecting the rf signature of molecules as we remove the magnetic field orientation.

At a large metallic warehouse in Harrisburg PA, birds fly in and then can’t escape, even when the large doors are left wide open! They fly around in panic, but just inside and eventually just drop dead! It’s as if the metal completely messes up their magnetic detection: seems they rely on it more than they do on sight

If atom vibration effects or sense of smell then can sound waves interfere with the atom bound vibration altering the sense of the smell of that particular atom bounds your smelling at the moment?

[@jmitterii2]

Sound waves are a compression wave. While molecular waves are electromagnetic waves. He's just using hearing the smells as a metaphor. In that molecular electromagnetic waves and compression waves are both waves. But different things are "waving". So making a noise and hoping your farts don't stink of sulphur, but smell something more pleasant like butterscotch... probably won't work. But worth an experiment anyways. You never know. LOL!

Kudos to Prof. Al-Khalili for bringing this to the lay audience. As a social science researcher investigating human social phenomena, I've embraced quantum mechanics as the most elegant paradigm to explain social phenomena. So here's my question: If quantum physics could potentially hold all of life's secrets, as proposed by Prof. Khalili, how can this be observed in society and culture?

[@kA-dc6zq]

One notion could be that social behavior could be very different as long as it is under measurement or being monitored by an observer! In isolation, however, social behaviors could be different. Just like the particles which behave differently when not observed or measured .

[@schmarpsywinkleurnklabean659]

You need to study physics in depth before trying to equate it to sociology. They're not the same at all.

[@albeeh6316]

@schmarpsywinkleurnklabean659 No they're not, I agree. But observations and interpretations of social phenomena bear very strong resemblances to principles of quantum mechanics. That's what spooks me.

What if we describe subatomic particles as spatial curvature, instead of trying to describe General Relativity as being mediated by particles? Quantum Entangled Twisted Tubules: "A theory that you can't explain to a bartender is probably no damn good." Ernest Rutherford The following is meant to be a generalized framework for an extension of Kaluza-Klein Theory. Does it agree with the “Twistor Theory” of Roger Penrose? During the early history of mankind, the twisting of fibers was used to produce thread, and this thread was used to produce fabrics. The twist of the thread is locked up within these fabrics. Is matter made up of twisted 3D-4D structures which store spatial curvature that we describe as “particles"? Are the twist cycles the "quanta" of Quantum Mechanics? When we draw a sine wave on a blackboard, we are representing spatial curvature. Does a photon transfer spatial curvature from one location to another? Wrap a piece of wire around a pencil and it can produce a 3D coil of wire, much like a spring. When viewed from the side it can look like a two-dimensional sine wave. You could coil the wire with either a right-hand twist, or with a left-hand twist. Could Planck's Constant be proportional to the twist cycles. A photon with a higher frequency has more energy. ( E=hf, More spatial curvature as the frequency increases = more Energy ). What if gluons are actually made up of these twisted tubes which become entangled with other tubes to produce quarks. (In the same way twisted electrical extension cords can become entangled.) Therefore, the gluons are a part of the quarks. Quarks cannot exist without gluons, and vice-versa. Mesons are made up of two entangled tubes (Quarks/Gluons), while protons and neutrons would be made up of three entangled tubes. (Quarks/Gluons) The "Color Force" would be related to the XYZ coordinates (orientation) of entanglement. "Asymptotic Freedom", and "flux tubes" are logically based on this concept. The Dirac “belt trick” also reveals the concept of twist in the ½ spin of subatomic particles. If each twist cycle is proportional to h, we have identified the source of Quantum Mechanics as a consequence twist cycle geometry. Modern physicists say the Strong Force is mediated by a constant exchange of Mesons. The diagrams produced by some modern physicists actually represent the Strong Force like a spring connecting the two quarks. Asymptotic Freedom acts like real springs. Their drawing is actually more correct than their theory and matches perfectly to what I am saying in this model. You cannot separate the Gluons from the Quarks because they are a part of the same thing. The Quarks are the places where the Gluons are entangled with each other. Neutrinos would be made up of a twisted torus (like a twisted donut) within this model. Gravity is a result of a very small curvature imbalance within atoms. (This is why the force of gravity is so small.) Instead of attempting to explain matter as "particles", this concept attempts to explain matter more in the manner of our current understanding of the space-time curvature of gravity. If an electron has qualities of both a particle and a wave, it cannot be either one. It must be something else. Therefore, a "particle" is actually a structure which stores spatial curvature. Can an electron-positron pair (which are made up of opposite directions of twist) annihilate each other by unwinding into each other producing Gamma Ray photons? Does an electron travel through space like a threaded nut traveling down a threaded rod, with each twist cycle proportional to Planck’s Constant? Does it wind up on one end, while unwinding on the other end? Is this related to the Higgs field? Does this help explain the strange ½ spin of many subatomic particles? Does the 720 degree rotation of a 1/2 spin particle require at least one extra dimension? Alpha decay occurs when the two protons and two neutrons (which are bound together by entangled tubes), become un-entangled from the rest of the nucleons . Beta decay occurs when the tube of a down quark/gluon in a neutron becomes overtwisted and breaks producing a twisted torus (neutrino) and an up quark, and the ejected electron. The phenomenon of Supercoiling involving twist and writhe cycles may reveal how overtwisted quarks can produce these new particles. The conversion of twists into writhes, and vice-versa, is an interesting process. Gamma photons are produced when a tube unwinds producing electromagnetic waves. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Within this model a black hole could represent a quantum of gravity, because it is one cycle of spatial gravitational curvature. Therefore, instead of a graviton being a subatomic particle it could be considered to be a black hole. The overall gravitational attraction would be caused by a very tiny curvature imbalance within atoms. We know there is an unequal distribution of electrical charge within each atom because the positive charge is concentrated within the nucleus, even though the overall electrical charge of the atom is balanced by equal positive and negative charge. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> In this model Alpha equals the compactification ratio within the twistor cone. 1/137 1= Hypertubule diameter at 4D interface 137= Cone’s larger end diameter at 3D interface where the photons are absorbed or emitted. The 4D twisted Hypertubule gets longer or shorter as twisting or untwisting occurs. (720 degrees per twist cycle.) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> How many neutrinos are left over from the Big Bang? They have a small mass, but they could be very large in number. Could this help explain Dark Matter?

It does all make sense, it is simple and logical. We are so young as a species we just don't understand it yet. My theory is: Quantum particles never disappear, we just can't follow any particle as it travels through other dimensions. It looks like magic. AI will teach us about interdimensional physics. I think it is also the answer to faster than light travel.

[@JamesSimmons-gv4ow]

It does NOT defy all logic. It is perfectly logical. We simply, as yet, fail to recognize another reality. In order to understand the dynamic and purpose of the so called strings it is first necessary to allow that there is another universe, one that exists outside of the physical, one not bounded by time and that we are not delving into areas which will, when we finally realize it, prove to be the boundary realms between the two.

Didn't we already all learn that birds use the magnetic field to navigate? So birds triangulate height & breeze based on magnetic patterns within familiar nature. If you put a robin in a completely white box & put an evenly round magnitic frequency around the box, the bird wouldn't be able to figure out its grounding. Just how I can stand up straight based on my perception of the area around me & by triangulating my distance to the static items.

[@thedeadmoneyallstars]

Since we're talking magnetic field here, I'm assuming he's thinking about spin. Entangled electron pairs always have opposite spin (one "clockwise", one "anticlockwise") so whichever direction one is "measured" in, the other would point in the opposite direction as if they were the opposite poles of a magnet. You can also produce something called a "Cooper Pair", where both electrons act as if they're the same electron - and so always point in the same direction. The fascinating thing about all of this for me, is that experiments to reproduce these effects need to be super cold (a few degrees Kelvin), or super high energy (particle collider, big bang levels of energy), and in very clean and carefully managed environments... yet here is the warm, wet, mushy environment of a robin's eye. Doing quantum entanglement constantly in nature!
