My grandpa was using one of those near the end. It wasn't perfect (also an older model) but it really did help. I'm sure they've only gotten better over the last few years.

I declare Hodj the winner due to a_skeleton_03 not even attempting to find fraud at this scale. He could've at least tried to dig up some climate nonsense.

Let's move on to Parkinson's Spoons. Is this risk of shaky obese people too high to allow this technology to proliferate?
Those people are walking shake weights. You burn calories just looking at them.

Time to change the thread title, in honor of Dr. Carson: "Just the way the Earth rotates on its axis, how far away it is from the sun. These are all very complex things. Gravity, where did it come from?"

I found Carson's running mate

At the risk of being very wrong, I'll summarize what I think I read. A long time ago this Bell guy said,"Quantum mechanics? GTFO with that BS." Then these guys were like, "No really, it's a thing. Here let me show you." Then they proceeded to send a message using electrons over a distance of 1.3 Km and went on to state that they could hypothetically do it at a greater distance. Oh and this has the potential to revolutionize a lot of shit.

Now if someone who actually knows what it says could correct me, I'd appreciate it.

From what I recall the TL;DR is before there was always a 'loophole' out of the inequalities meaning that itcouldbe some local hidden variable affecting test results and therefore QM may somehow obey the natural laws of the universe. I take it this experiment means that it is confirmed that entanglement results are outside of locality in that they are not causallyrelativisticand thus QM does break relativity and observably exists so... we know basically nothing but will have some pretty sweet intergalactic radios one day.

Last time this was brought up to Furry, his excuse was that we all don't really have free will so our observations were themselves pre-determined.

So if you're talking about QM, it's all BS and can't violate rock solid Relativity.

If you're talking about Relativity, there's no conclusive evidence for anything and the speed of light/gravity are bullshit.

Unfortunately you can't send information via entanglement. It would violate the no-broadcast and no-cloning theorems.

No-broadcast theorem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
No-cloning theorem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Unfortunately my school doesn't have access to that paper yet. Will read through it when I get a chance.

And yet he spent several days arguing with me when I said that being gay was at least somewhat genetically based, and his reasoning for doing so was because he was arguing for total free will.

Wouldn't the entanglement itself be information? My little box turned on, someone's entangling it. That means X. Oh my other box went on. They must mean XY, not X. Oh, I have ten trillion of these boxes, and the combinations mean _______.
