Spooky at a Distance

Well, the truth is out, Einstein loses, God Does Play Dice and nothing can be done about it. Researchers did the tiniest double slit experiment possible with one Hydrogen Atom. "While a single electron will behave as a purely quantum entity, the mere presence of another electron is enough to cause the electron to make the transition from quantum to classical behaviour -- according to an international team of physicists who have done a bizarre yet simple version of the famous “double slit” experiment."

As a follow up, check out the Science Daily article which states that "The line between the Quantum and Classical worlds is at the scale of one Hydrogen Molecule."

As a means of further explanation, check out Physorg's take. "The big world of classical physics mostly seems sensible: waves are waves and particles are particles, and the moon rises whether anyone watches or not. The tiny quantum world is different: particles are waves (and vice versa), and quantum systems remain in a state of multiple possibilities until they are measured -- which amounts to an intrusion by an observer from the big world -- and forced to choose: the exact position or momentum of an electron, say."

If that was not bad enough, see what happens when just One Particle is examined.

Grasshopper, imagine the sound of one hand clapping.
