QUANTUM THEOLOGY : M. M. NINAN<br />

with a state | a,b> . If the two particles are then separated very<br />

far apart and if there is a change in one particles according to<br />

<strong>Quantum</strong> Mechanics it should affect the second particle<br />

instantaneously because they still form a coherent system and<br />

should be considered as one state |a’, b’>. This spooky action at<br />

a distance violates all physical laws because no signals can<br />

travel faster than light according to relativity.<br />

In a system where two particles were created by materialization<br />

of energy, if particle 1 has a spin of "up," particle 2 will have a<br />

spin of "down." Conversely if particle 1 has a spin of "down,"<br />

particle 2 will have a spin of "up." to conserve the spin zero of<br />

the total system. If after a period when the two particles are<br />

separated far, if the measure the spin of particle 1 we will be able<br />

to determine the spin of particle 2 absolutely. No matter how far<br />

apart is particle 2 from particle 1, Particle 2 will instantly respond<br />

to the state of particle 1, even if it is on the other side of the<br />

universe.<br />

In 1964 John S Bell 9CERN laboratory in Geneva), proved a<br />

theorem which demonstrated that certain experimental tests<br />

could distinguish the predictions of quantum mechanics from<br />

those of any local hidden-variable theory. In 1982 Alain Aspect<br />

performed this experiment in the University of Paris and proved<br />

that somehow the Particle 2 knew exactly what was the state of<br />

Particle 1 and responded to it.<br />
