Quantum entanglement *virtually* proves that we’re living in a simulation

Entanglement screams weird. It’s no exaggeration that it’s referred to as ‘spooky action at a distance’.

In the 1980s Alain Aspect’s experiments tested the 1960’s Bell’s Theorem (based on Einstein et al’s 1940s ‘EPR’ thought experiment).

Einstein thought the quantum mechanics prediction of ‘spooky action at a distance’ would turn out to be false.

But no, shockingly, it’s reality.

Proven.

The Nobel Prize was already handed out last year.

The quantum result is true!

Not the ‘hidden variable’ classical-like quantum theory which gives slightly different – but systematically different – results when measuring correlated statistics (see diagram).

But this correlation occurs instantly, certainly faster than light speed.

It means a measurement at one location affects the result of a measurement made immediately later, possibly even light years away.

This is not like classical (or even quantum-like) gravity or electromagnetic fields that propagate physically at the speed of light, which is arguably the physical mechanism for the transmission of effects.
