Quantum Physics is a rather strange bird indeed.  Most people that study and use its numerous wave functions to make predictions of the locations of very small particles, do so without the vaguest idea of what exactly it means.  We use Newton’s laws everyday and they make sense to us.  Quantum Physics on the other hand, makes very accurate predictions of all sorts of strange things, yet the why remains a mystery sealed from our eyes.

There have been numerous experiments done all around the world that purport to prove these very small things communicate at speeds greater than the speed of light.  That they do so instantly, even, beyond the realm of time itself.  In fact, it is hypothesized that these levels of communication actually reverse time in order to play out.  That they some how run ahead of time to determine what is going to happen, and then backup to perform their duty.  Particles in these states are often referred to as entangled.  I’m not really sure about the exact manor in which one entangles particles, but its said that they can entangle them, transport them to the opposite sides of the earth, and then anything done to one will immediately be seen in the other.

I’ve searched the Internet for signs of any details of how they performed these tests.  Such as what the process is that entangles, how did they transport to opposite sides of the earth, how did they determine they were communicating instantly when we can’t?  There are hundreds of questions one would have in a conversation such as this and I assume only that they take the stance of religious teachers in that its beyond our understanding so why try to explain.  I’ve purchased many books on the subject and they all talk about it, but provide no details.

I’ve also watched very nice documentaries on the subject such as “What the Bleep do we know?” and “What the Bleep, Down the Rabbit Hole”,  yet none talk at length on this subject.  In the “What the Bleep” film, I heard one person talking about the visual viewing of a single particle taking up 2 and up to 3000 different places in space at the same point in time.  Yet, again, no real information.

One thing I can tell you for fact, is this:  A lot of speculation has been added to the subject of Quantum Physics that makes one question the very foundation of his/her beliefs.  Some may be beneficial, some may not, and making a distinction between the two might prove impossible at best.  The real problem as I see it however, is that the very people doing the experiments are talking about the results as if they are factual and understood, when in fact, they are the furthest from the truth.

The good old two-slit experiment, of which I’ve done quite a bit of research and actually have built a device to start testing, has been the foundation of a lot of speculation within Quantum Physics.  Quantum Physics predicts quite a bit of fairly accurate results over and over, and therefore, tests along with their appeared results are given this magical property before anyone really has time to digest them.  In my opinion, the 2 slit experiment is but one example.

Its safe to say that a lot of the magical properties given to Quantum Physics originated from the results of this single experiment carried on many years ago.  You won’t purchase a single book or article attempting to explain the wonders of Quantum Physics that doesn’t mention this experiment in detail.  I’ve been able to find no detailed documentation about the experiment to date, but have figured out the majority of its pieces.  Its final results have caused physicists world round, to think of many-world universes, Quantum Logic, NeoRealism and many more intriguing topics.  It stems from the thought that single electrons fired through the 2 slits, still interfere with themselves, which made everyone assume that they must exist in all places at once.

Perhaps all of this is true, however, the fact remains, that Science has a bad habit of stating a hypothesis as fact to the world, even though within its ranks, it’s still unproven.  Science, to those of us looking in from the outside is very much a religious organization, unwilling to open itself up to the world.  If you don’t have the degree and the years of paid study, then you are not worthy of participating.  Its a shame they feel this way, because there may be people all across the world with points of view that might aid in a final answer, but don’t have a way to voice the information.

So as an example, we’ll end with another point of view on the subject of communication between particles.  Of course, if in fact these particles were sent to the other sides of the world my hypothesis might be incorrect.  But one has to ask how they are even seeing these particles that are millions of times smaller than a particle of light.  You could liken it to trying to look at a water drop by throwing other water drops at it.  But speaking of water, what would happen if you had two sticks floating just under the surface of water and you did something to disturb the water?  Would both sticks appear to move instantly as one?  Perhaps there are hundreds of other possible explanations, but until one figures out how exactly they are looking at these things, so small that you can’t even see them in an electron microscope, its hard to know if such thoughts are worth while.
