Quantum Entanglement (and UFOs)?

Nova/PBS aired a program about quantum entanglement Wednesday night 12/16/2020.

I’ve written about quantum entanglement a few times here (and elsewhere); it’s a tough concept to understand (or swallow).

The NOVA show offered the controversy between Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr, and elaborated on the paradox of Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen paper.

More importantly, perhaps, was an experiment which physicists set up and conducted that apparently confirmed the idea of quantum entanglement.

Here’s where I got entangled….

The scientists set up two sites where photons (?) from two Quasars far apart in the cosmos could be sighted and emissions from them, while separated by billions of miles and the 10 billion time-frame from which those emissions emerged and reached Earth now, could select two entry points miles apart here, to see if the emitted particles were entangled.

Yes, that’s the gist of the “experiment” as I understood it, despite some minor interruptions and my also watching NBC’s SNL Xmas retrospective at the same time.

(I should have been paying more attention to the NOVA experiment, but I grabbed more than the gist of it, I think.)

The problem for me is that using two different quasars, with two different emissions, seems antithetical to Bohr’s entanglement idea and John Bell’s earlier experiments and thinking with his theorem and “proof” of entanglement.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell%27s_theorem

“Bell carried the analysis of quantum entanglement much further. He deduced that if measurements are performed independently on the two separated halves of a pair, then the assumption that the outcomes depend upon hidden variables within each half implies a constraint on how the outcomes on the two halves are correlated. This constraint would later be named the Bell inequality. Bell then showed that quantum physics predicts correlations that violate this inequality. Consequently, the only way that hidden variables could explain the predictions of quantum physics is if they are "nonlocal", somehow associated with both halves of the pair and able to carry influences instantly between them no matter how widely the two halves are separated.^[3][4] As Bell wrote later, "If [a hidden-variable theory] is local it will not agree with quantum mechanics, and if it agrees with quantum mechanics it will not be local."^[

It seems to me that that the idea of non-locality is intrinsic to quantum entanglement as Bell “proved” and quantum entanglement at a distance is little better than a possible guess, the NOVA exIt seems to me that that the idea of non-locality is intrinsic to quantum entanglement as Bell “proved” and quantum entanglement at a distance is little better than a possible guess, the NOVA experiment plagued by these things:

The photons measured were not from the same source nor paired originally, as they were particles from different “stars” – both not verified to be extant at the same time, and both spewing photons not verified to being emitted simultaneously, as best as I could discern from the broadcast.

Now here’s where UFOs come into the matter….

In the past here, and elsewhere, I proposed that UFOs may be macro-quantum artifacts (particles, as it were), perhaps being seen as entangled objects. (I called for a data look at sightings to see if UFOs in one place and time were duplicated elsewhere at the exact same time, duplicating the each others movements, simultaneously.

I now see that an advanced species – millions of years beyond us in its “evolution” – might be able to create “objects” (UFOs) that contain AI or exist on their own, and contain quantum propulsion or even contain a quantum particle construction; objects that can be controlled from without – their “home” base or from super-structures not far from Earth, in another dimension or time or abutting universe, even another planet, if you will.

The movement of such objects would appear much as quantum photons or particles appear, sometimes affected by their observation (measurement) – by us or pilots or radar, or cameras, whatever.

A theoretical problem arises because of Bell’s theorem: entangled quantum particles do not occur locally. They are non-local oriented.

Is a space-ship from outside our reality non-local, of if they are in our realm, do they have to be a local phenomenon, subject to Einstein and Podolsky’s (and Bell’s) restrictions?

Just some thoughts, sparked by the PBS airing.
