Testing Einstein's 'Spooky Action at a Distance' 375
smooth wombat writes "Travelling to a time in the past is, as far as we know, not possible. However, Einstein postulated a faster-than-light effect known as 'spooky action at a distance'. The problem is, how do you test for such an effect? That test may now be here. If all goes well, hopefully by September 15th, John Cramer will have experimented with a beam of laser light which has been split in two to test Einstein's idea. While he is only testing the quantum entanglement portion, changing one light beam and having the same change made in the other beam, his experiment might show that a change made in one beam shows up in the other beam before he actually makes the change."

I, myself, am a time traveler from the past. I've been journeying into the future at a rate of sixty seconds per minute.

Well, I looked it over, contemplated it, thought about it in depth for a while and I came to the conclusion that I have no fucking idea what that proves, and now I have a headache, thank you.
