The Terrifying Quantum Entanglement Theory That Breaks Reality
May 3, 2026
What if the most basic assumptions about reality, that objects are separate, and distance is real... are completely wrong? For centuries, classical physics described a predictable, local universe where nothing influenced anything faster than light. Then, quantum entanglement arrived, breaking our entire assumption of reality and terrifying even the most brilliant minds, including Albert Einstein.

Just as Space does not separate two entangled particles some distance apart, Time does not separate a particle from its past or future entangled self.

You are the moon until someone starts to look at it.
I'm not sure that I ever learned anything from any of his videos. They're more like refreshers.
Perhaps, we should create our own YouTube channel. Though I am an introvert. Maybe an AI avatar could do the talking.
Niggu is 70 years old. May as well wrote the song a week ago.
I listened to a podcast from blindboyboatclub talking to Martyn Ware about the synthesizer and foundation of The Human League and electronic music, a week before tickets were still on sale for their concert. I take synchronicities seriously. It doesn't always work out.

This deserve a repost. Jim Morrison predicts the DJ

For the past three years, I have been waiting until October of this year for Bitcoin to bottom. The number is about 40 K. If I am wrong about this, then I will never say a word about anything ever again.
What is a polyhedron with 12 vertices, 6 pentagonal faces, and 2 triangular faces? Melancholia.
We focus too much on the human aspect instead of paying attention to the being.
I don't know who posted this originally, but I finally started watching it. I'm about halfway through and I've got to say, this guy is a little too drunk on Leibniz.
PairTheBoard, was it you?
I'm almost done, but I wanted to share a few things right away.
At 00:23:47, he says, "So this is the kind of realism I want for quantum theory, which is that correlations should have causal explanations." This strikes me as just fundamentally wrong. That's like saying he wants correlation to imply causation.
Also, I was struck by one of the comments. It may be the top comment. It says,
I was literally permanently banned from /r/ askphysics for posting a paper from Robert Spekkens. The moderator told me that Spekkens is a "pariah of the physics community" and that everyone in academia hates him and are "just waiting for him to die off" because he "promotes hidden variables" (the paper I was asking about wasn't even about hidden variables, it was just because Spekkens was one of the several coauthors of the paper).
This comment prompted me to have an interesting
. I found it inspiring that he can be controversial, with many people fundamentally disagreeing with him, and at the same time be respected and regarded as influential. That kind of juxtaposition doesn't happen much in the common spheres of discourse today.
And finally, I really like the chapter, Hieroglyphs and Category Mistakes. That is a really cool analogy.
