Do we live in the matrix?

Question

I've been just browsing about on youtube, learning little tidbits of facts about quantum physics and extra dimensions and stuff. I watched an interesting video that told me that electrons act as matter we observed directly, but act as waves otherwise. I'm still kind of shaky on everything, but I also managed to learn that electron pairs reflect each other's rotation, and when one is observed directly, no matter how far away they are, they revert back to normal electrons, both of them! This could mean that if they traverse large distances (I'm talking light years), the same thing would happen. Does this mean that they must communicate or something in a way that's faster than light?

Answer 1

You are thinking of 'entangled pairs' .... no, you can't use them to 'communicate faster than light' since we can't extract INFORMATION from the effect (as far as we know) = see link





PS I notice you are American .. just keep taking the Blue pill & all will be OK ...

Answer 2

No, the electrons are not communicating, to understand quantum physics, you have to forget absolutely everything you know about classical physics(physics in real world).

the electrons are not traversing large distances, they are already at both locations. All electrons are at every possible location all the time and react as if they are at all these locations.

Answer 3

You can always trying bending a spoon with your mind... :P

Answer 4

yeah,you`d wish to live there...

in `the matrix` or `matrix reloaded`?

i wish...with trinity...
