The Universe Is Not Locally Real, and the Physics Nobel Prize Winners Proved It

Elegant experiments with entangled light have laid bare a profound mystery at the heart of reality

One of the more unsettling discoveries in the past half century is that the universe is not locally real.

“Real,” meaning that objects have definite properties independent of observation—an apple can be red even when no one is looking; 

“Local” means objects can only be influenced by their surroundings, and that any influence cannot travel faster than light. 

Investigations at the frontiers of quantum physics have found that these things cannot both be true. Instead, the evidence shows objects are not influenced solely by their surroundings and they may also lack definite properties prior to measurement. As Albert Einstein famously bemoaned to a friend, “Do you really believe the moon is not there when you are not looking at it?”

This is, of course, deeply contrary to our everyday experiences. To paraphrase Douglas Adams, the demise of local realism has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Blame for this achievement has now been laid squarely on the shoulders of three physicists: John Clauser, Alain Aspect and Anton Zeilinger. They equally split the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics “for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science.” (“Bell inequalities” refers to the pioneering work of the Northern Irish physicist John Stewart Bell, who laid the foundations for this year’s Physics Nobel in the early 1960s.) 

Colleagues agreed that the trio had it coming, deserving this reckoning for overthrowing reality as we know it. “It is fantastic news. It was long overdue,” says Sandu Popescu, a quantum physicist at the University of Bristol. “Without any doubt, the prize is well-deserved...”

The Penrose diagram for the formation and evaporation of a Schwarzschild black hole including annihilation and entanglement transfer at the singularity—in this figure we also explicitly show the transfer of entanglement from the particles at the singularity and the particles outside the event horizon. A Hawking pair is created on the Cauchy surface Σ an and evolves to the surface Σ d where the ‘int’ Hawking particle has now reached the singularity at r = 0. Another Hawking pair is created at Σ b and evolves to finally reach the Cauchy surface Σ g where the ‘int’ particle is at the singularity. Now the two ‘int’ particles are both at the singularity where they are forced to interact with (for example) two entangled matter particles as shown in figure 3(c). Consider the following three particular wavy lines: the black wavy line at r = 0 between Σ d and Σ g , the blue wavy line between the green particle at the singularity on Σ d and the black particle on Σ g , and the red wavy line between the green particle at the singularity in Σ g and the black particle on Σ g , these wave lines represent the dynamics of figure 3(c). In the Penrose spacetime diagram. Finally, assuming full annihilation of the two green particles at the singularity, which happens for ω″ = ω′ = ω, we end up with two ‘out’ entangled particles on Σfin.

Rocket let Petra right himself and he took another savoring bite. Petra snuck in a bite or two, but left the majority of the pie to her friend. He kept making happy noises, and he was in ecstasies of delight as he continued to eat. As he scraped up the last bit he could with the utensil, he let his claws skitter around the edge of the dish and turned to look at Petra over his shoulder.

“Is it weird if I lick the plate too?” he asked hunching as if waiting for the rattan cane of his Sire.

Instead of answering, Petra laughed, leaned around him, and licked a line along the edge of the dish. That was all the permission he needed before greedily collecting every last bit of pie with his tongue. -Chapter 5, Entanglement by @hibatasblog. ———

I finally did it!! Now I can read the next chapter as a prize to myself. I hope you like it! The story is so detailed and amazing. I just eat it up. For some reason I kept thinking of a blueberry crumple pie for this. https://archiveofourown.org/works/48617005/chapters/130958833

Stranded together in the wilderness, Hermione and Draco are in for cold nights, endless snark, bad wine, and some interesting scars.

Time and Tide by Misdemeanor1331 - M, 10 chapters - While ferrying a message for the Order of the Phoenix, Hermione Granger is caught by jaded Death Eater, Draco Malfoy. Unlikely and unwilling allies, the pair begin a cross-country journey where their survival depends on learning when to stand strong against the elements’ fury, and when it’s acceptable to erode.

Distance - In_Dreams - M, 39 chapters, Words: 138, 280 - She’s a novice Unspeakable trying to earn her stripes. He’s a shafted Auror desperate to prove himself.

this au is now called Machouse, there's no plot, no lore (other than their individual stories) just four chaotic macaques in a house.

look overshadowed isn't actively trying to kill entanglement every day (most days) he just likes putting the fear of god into the gremlin.

Entanglement

As I walked by I could feel some signal or energy you seemed to be giving out. I stopped, smiled and received what you offered. If we slow down, listen, feel into the energy we are able to enjoy a fullest that has been waiting for us. Connecting to the entangled.

The Entangled Relationship of Sun Wukong and Six Ears

A friend recently asked me an interesting question: "Do you think that the Six-Eared Macaque has Sun Wukong's fire eyes and golden pupils [huoyan jinjing, 火眼金睛]?" My initial thought was "no" since he was never subjected to Laozi's furnace, but then I remembered that chapter 58 reads:

His looks were exactly the same as those of the Great Sage: he, too, had a gold fillet clamped to his yellowish hair, a pair of fiery eyes with golden pupils (emphasis added), a silk monk's robe on his body, a tiger kilt tied around his waist, a golden-banded iron staff in one of his hands, and a pair of deerskin boots on his feet (Wu & Yu, 2012, vol. 3, p. 104). [1]

模樣與大聖無異：也是黃髮金箍，金睛火眼；身穿也是綿布直裰，腰繫虎皮裙；手中也拿一條兒金箍鐵棒；足下也踏一雙麂皮靴

In addition, the Buddha refers to the twin monkeys as "two minds" (erxin, 二心) (Wu & Yu, 2012, vol. 3, p. 113), thereby revealing that both represent the dual aspects of Sun Wukong's troubled mind. Their battle is a metaphor for the struggle between the "true mind" (zhenxin, 眞/真心) and the "illusionary mind" (wangxin, 妄心) within our hero. For more information, see my previous article:

Six Ears is, therefore, a manifestation of Monkey's mind. It's only natural then that he too would have the same appearance and carry the same scars. But this raises the question: When did the two split? One scholar suggests that Six Ears was once Sun’s sworn brother, the Macaque King (Mihou wang, 獼猴王), because "[t]he latter’s other agnomen, 'the Great Sage Informing Wind' [Tongfeng dasheng, 通風大聖] suggests further that its ears are as good as the six-eared macaque’s in information gathering" (Lam, 2005, p. 168). If true, this would suggest that they split prior to Monkey's turn in the furnace. This makes sense as an early split would allow Six Ears to gain the same magic powers at a similar pace.

But an early split carries with it a certain implication: Six Ears would have experienced the tortuous heat and smoke of Laozi's furnace while physically separated from Sun Wukong. It would be like the two were connected by an invisible link, similar to entangled particles in Quantum physics.

Can you imagine it? The sheer terror of your super ears hearing that your counterpart is about to be shoved into a celestial furnace, and then the feeling of torturous heat and smoke assaulting your body and eyes. Perhaps Six Ears would try rushing to heaven to stop this but is overcome by the pain affecting him...for 49 days (or 49 years depending on his location). [2]

Update:

It just occurred to me that Six Ears would have also been subject to imprisonment under Five Elements Mountain (Wuxing shan, 五行山). I'll let you decide if he is weighed down by an invisible, metaphysical mountain or a physical object (see the paragraph above figure 2 here for one possibility).

The Quantum physics-like entanglement shared by the twin monkeys also explains why Six Ears has a golden headband (refer back to the quote above). The novel establishes that the tight-fillet spell also causes the doppelganger pain (Wu & Yu, 2012, vol. 3, p. 106, for example). They are after all two sides to the same person.

Note:

Translation changed slightly. I have made it more accurate.

The novel establishes that "one day in heaven is equal to one year on Earth" (Wu & Yu, 2012, vol. 1, pp. 150 and 167).
