Experiment #2 part 1
Transcendent Consciousness and EPR

In the 1930s Albert Einstein and Nails Bohr began an open argument about the rightness of quantum science. Einstein argued that quantum science was incomplete and someday the missing part would be found, and it would be shown that reality was mechanical after all. Bohr said that quantum is complete and we just need to start accepting it.

For a number of years Einstein would publish a thought experiment and Bohr would shoot it down.Then in 1935 Einstein teamed up with two other scientists, Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen. Thus the name EPR. Together they published a thought experiment, which Bohr never answered.

The heart of the EPR argument was the fact that matter could never move faster than the speed of light and yet the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle predicted that particles that were “entangled” (Entangling photons is like marrying them, and they become part of each other even if split apart) would be able to signal each other instantaneously across the universe, which was forbidden by the speed of light.
