Entanglement is seen in a mechanical system for the first time

So now the real question is how do i get cool superpowers from all of this?

LOL, I can't answer that one quite yet.

Also the whole entanglement thing reminds me of voodoo dolls. what you do to the doll happens to the person just as changes on one atom also happen to its pair.
freaky

Yes that is a decent analogy. Although I am not so sure of the Voodoo thing but who knows.

Another important question is, would you still have these superpowers while being observed by other people ?

If not then they wouldn't be very useful ...


To OP: very nice find, S&F

Also how does distance affect pairs?
If it has little or no effect then we have a way of transmitting information faster then light and if that is the case then this could be possible way to go ftl.

Good point. what if by some freak event two different observations are made of the same event? what happens then?

This also reminds me of the theory where you train a few hundred monkeys to do something more monkeys who are isolated from the bunch can pick it up. (Not sure where this one came from but i have read it a few places before).

Maybe this event would give birth to another parallel universe.

Or it would be something similar to a matter/antimatter reaction and would destroy the whole place...

I think the first is the correct option.
I think the Creation of a parallel universe theory also explains the grandfather paradox.
