Relativity Goes Where Einstein Sneered to Tread

Abstract

In the 30 December 2002 issue of
Physical Review Letters, two physicists show that quantum entanglement, a notion that Einstein loathed, can be deeply affected by the laws of relativity. In fact, when particles are sped up to near the speed of light, entanglement can appear seemingly out of nowhere.

A Review on Quantum Entanglement

R. Nishanth, Nithya shree, Om Gajanan Patil +2 more

Erwin Schrodinger first used the phrase “quantum entanglement” in 1935 to describe a mechanical phenomenon at the quantum level where two (or more) particles’ quantum states must be defined in relation to one another even if they may be geographically apart. This paradoxical event has confounded us for a very long time. Entangled particle behavior appears to be mysterious, illogical, and akin to sorcery at work. The successful and dependable principle of locality has led us to the achievements of twentieth-century physics. However, some theorists may doubt the locality itself due to the “spooky” and nonlocal effects of the local laws of quantum theory. Could there truly be an instant connection between two subatomic particles located on the extreme edges of the universe? Is there a theory that predicts such a relationship that is fundamentally faulty or lacking? Are the outcomes of the experiments that show this connection being read incorrectly? These questions challenge our most fundamental understanding of space and time. The universe is currently being disassembled by modern physics, and it will never be the same. Utilizing cutting-edge technology, quantum entanglement will have a positive impact on society. The history of quantum entanglement is outlined in this work, along with several hypotheses regarding the puzzling behavior of entangled particles. Quantum entanglement may also be an instance of nonlocality in action, in which what occurs in one location affects what occurs in another. Entanglement can also be compared to a situation in which a light switch is used to control two (or more) light bulbs, causing them to turn on at the same time when the switch is switched on. The key question is whether one of the aforementioned theories actually accounts for the odd behavior of entangled particles, in which case experimental evidence would unquestionably support the theory.

An Interpretation of Quantum Entanglement and the Nature of the Universe

JunSteed Huang, JiaminMoran Huang, GuangQian Lu

Albert Einstein found that, for two particles coming from the same source, when the state of one changes, that of the other may change at the same time, no matter how far they are apart from each other.This superluminal phenomenon totally violates the special theory of relativity which says nothing's speed exceeds the limit of light speed, what's more, as of today, nobody has made a satisfying explanation of this strange phenomenon, not even Einstein's own general relativity.We bring forward our novel view of this long pending dilemma based on the observations of the latest physical lab reports and by summarizing various theories of information, computer science, communications, religion and physics itself.We call it Super General Relativity for now.

The Diffraction of Electrons by a Crystal of Nickel

Clinton J. Davisson

This article is taken from the manuscript prepared by the author for his address at the joint meeting of Section B of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the American Physical Society on December 28, 1927, at Nashville, Tennessee. An account of this work giving fuller experimental details is given by Davisson and Germer in the December, 1927, issue of the Physical Review. These experiments are fundamental to some of the newer theories in physics. Until they were performed, it could be said that all experimental facts about the electron could be explained by regarding it as a particle of negative electricity. It now appears that in some way a “wave-length” is connected with the electron's behavior. The work thus shows an interesting contrast with the discovery of A. H. Compton that a ray of light (a light pulse) suffers a change of wave-length upon impact with an electron, the change of wave-length corresponding exactly to the momentum gained by the electron. Until Compton's work, all the known facts about light could be explained by thinking of light as a wave motion. The Compton effect seems to prove the existence of particles of light. Physics is thus faced with a double duality. Compton showed that light is in some sense both a wave motion and a stream of particles. Davisson and Germer have now shown that a beam of electrons is in some sense both a stream of particles and a wave motion. At the same time, theoretical advances have been made which seem to pave the way for an understanding of this curious situation. A general account of these new developments was given by K. K. Darrow in his series “Contemporary Advances in Physics” in the Bell System Technical Journal for October, 1927. Some remarks on the relation of the Davisson and Germer experiments to the new mechanics were given in this article, p. 692 et seq. — Editor.

Max Dresden letters to John Wheeler, 23 October 1957 and reply 30 October 1957, with note to Hugh Everett

Max Dresden

After the publication of Hugh Everett's thesis and John Wheeler's commentary in the September 1957 issue of Reviews of Modern Physics, several physicists wrote to Everett and Wheeler to discuss the papers. This one, from a physicist at Johns Hopkins named Max Dresden, seems to approve of Everett's contributions, and suggests that it might be related to a project he and a student worked on shortly before. Wheeler, at least at this point, seems interested in continuing to work on topics related to Everett's thesis, and also appears to believe that future publications on related topics are forthcoming. This letter is particularly interesting because it suggests that not only did Wheeler believe Everett could get an academic job at a top university, but that Robert Sachs, a prominent theoretical physicist at University of Wisconsin Madison, was actively attempting to recruit Everett. Everett, however, refused to follow any of these leads.
