Vacation in an odd sort of way

 This might be one of the longest breaks I've taken on posting to Mind Jazz since I started it in 2006.  So to refresh a bit I'm inserting the first post....https://mindjazz.blogspot.com/2006/12/, which you will cut and paste if you want to read it. The entanglement of my first and most recent post are related to the latest Nobel prize....and thus related to each other.

"Related to the latest Nobel Prize" is quite a statement which in truth is a theory and MAYBE not a reality.

If you want to understand the reference than simply Google (or whatever search engine you prefer) John F. Clauser.  Alain Aspect and Anton Zeilinger are the other two gents.

The category for this award is Physics (other categories are medicine, chemistry, literature and economics)  No, there is no award for art.

The reason John and two other gentlemen won the prize is because they honestly believe they uncovered or discovered or proved that...... 

                                   QUANTUM ENTANGLEMENT

                                               IS A REAL DEAL

The world of quantum has to do with little tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny aspects of nature that behave in ways that Einstein basically said was not possible.  Neils Bohr basically claimed otherwise and the three above mentioned gentleman won $900,000 because they claimed to have proved that Neils was right and Albert was wrong.  Albert referred to the issue as a "spooky action at a distance."

As I try to explain in laymen's terms what they are claiming, I keep thinking of the phrase....

"Everything is related"  A very important phrase, by the way, to the person who is responsible for Neo-Illumination.

The distinguished gentlemen use a phrase quite often when talking about Quantum entanglement.

"We don't have the slightest idea why this happens, but it happens."

You might be asking yourself at this stage....what happens?

If you aren't confused by now then this next quote from Professor Clauser (I presume that title exists) will help to cement your confusion.

"I have no idea how it works, but entanglement appears to be very real.:

The word APPEARS jumps out and smacks me right in the frontal lobe of my small brain.

It's like when the doctor prescribes a medicine and says...."this probably will work"

When dealing with quantum realities the world of theory is king, queen and all their subjects combined.

Imagine a proton or a photon (just try that for awhile) is in one location and then it gets separated and the other proton or photon travels millions of miles away (which it will because we are all traveling extremely fast {you do know our galaxy is going 130 miles per second} and is STILL LINKED.

Apparently this is the fundamental principle behind quantum computers that are nowhere near being created. 

By the way the prize was for an experiment that Clauser did in 1972.  It also seems funny that one of the award winners name is Aspect.

Those three dudes already won the Wolf Prize from Israel in 2010...

So it only took 12 more years for Nobel to join the party and since I'm not fully convinced that metaverses,  parallel universes and anything that Brian Greens says is factual, then I'm just going to relax with what Albert said.

Spooky action at a distance is also a great name for a band.

In the meantime the reality of our current earthly problems seem to be growing because of that nut in Russia and that loser in Florida who both by the way admire each other to a level that helps make everything going on even that much weirder.

AND YOU'VE GOT TO ADMIT

THINGS ARE GETTING WEIDER

but

I'm also a firm believer that the human species can correct flaws that are definitely based in the human thought process.

JUST NEED TO TRY HARDER and learn to recognize when someone isn't being truthful.

And it is not that hard to see when someone isn't being honest.

But of course that just might be a theory.....or appears to be a theory.

It actually might be very hard for some people to recognize bullshit.

I wish that wasn't true but it does explain a lot of nonsense, as does..........
