Quantum Entanglement | Quote: | | Some scientists have even gone so far as to claim that quantum entanglement shows that there is no such thing as space, and that everything in the universe is still touching. |
There is another solution: infinitesimals.
Nonlocality proves that there is no space (hence no time, hence nothing at all) only if it's assumed that Cantor set theory is wrong. If Cantor was right, the universe could be infinitely small and still have parts (infinitely many parts, in fact).
Which is the view I incline toward, since if you have the ability to claim that there is nothing then you must be wrong. Shades of Godel. And in my view, worth a good head explosion in anybody's book.

The article was horribly wrong on quantum entanglement.

First, it did mix a few different things under one heading. Second, it denied disentanglement altogether.

Doesn't entaglement mean that if you hope for something it is ever so slightly more likely to happen.
I saw that on "The Universe" on the history channel and it blew my mind completely.

Yeah. Just not so interesting that it violates four or five theories.
