Entangled minds -- "spooky action at a distance"

By Aussiegirl

Cue up the "Twilight Zone" music -- doo-doo-doo--doo! I've just ordered a new book called "Entangled Minds", written by Dean Radin. You just know that something like this is going to catch my eye. Even though Einstein was famously unhappy with the concept of entanglement and called it "spooky action at a distance", I have long maintained that there is no disconnect whatsoever between the so-called hard sciences and religious and mystical concepts, even notions such as a psychic bond that many people feel with those closest to them. We live in an entangled universe that is the expression of everything that was contained in the singularity that preceded the Big Bang. I'll be reviewing this book as soon as I read it.

Here's an excerpt of the Wikipedia article on entanglement:

Quantum entanglement is a quantum mechanical phenomenon in which the quantum states of two or more objects have to be described with reference to each other, even though the individual objects may be spatially separated. This leads to correlations between observable physical properties of the systems. For example, it is possible to prepare two particles in a single quantum state such that when one is observed to be spin-up, the other one will always be observed to be spin-down and vice versa, this despite the fact that it is impossible to predict, according to quantum mechanics, which set of measurements will be observed. As a result, measurements performed on one system seem to be instantaneously influencing other systems entangled with it. Quantum entanglement does not enable the transmission of classical information faster than the speed of light
