You got it wrong Einstein.

It seems that information CAN travel faster than light.
Quantum entanglement is real, a new experiment shows. The new experiment entangled electrons trapped in diamonds separated nearly 1 mile (1.3 km) apart on the campus of Delft University in the Netherlands. A detector in between the two diamonds was used to measure photons released as a result of that entanglement.
See Science news.

Indeed.. so in 1000 years from now we will be able to travel instantaneously across the universe.

Re: You got it wrong Einstein.

There has to be something faster than light, something that you can’t measure it’s so fast, as it is they can say a certain planet is 50 million light years away, if it can be measured then it’s limited, we just haven’t discovered enough yet, as the Painter says maybe in another 1,000 years.

Maybe. That's if we haven't blown it all up by then.

Re: You got it wrong Einstein.

Things like Quantum Entanglement, Dark Matter and Dark Energy are increasingly suggesting that we have not got all the physical laws there are. I would not rule out Hyperspace and Time Travel as we used to see in early Science Fiction but then we went through a phase of thinking we understood everything and SF became either boringly scientifically correct or completely daft Fantasy where you could do anything!

I was keeping up until you said Quantum entanglement ...

You had all on keeping up with the Quantum of Solace so my spies tell me.

Re: You got it wrong Einstein.

Hi

Einstein was wrong, we know that from new observations.

The speed of light in a vacuum is not constant for a start.

Then we now know that for the Universe to exist there must have been a singularity from which it started.

We have also observed particles appearing before they should do.

Interesting times ahead, the next five years could well change our understanding of the nature of things dramatically.

Spot-on Philip - my argument for a long time to all those saying "you can't change the laws of physics"

Man write them, man could be wrong! stevmk2
