Scientists astonished by ‘spooky’ discovery in space

Scientists astonished by ‘spooky’ discovery in space

An utterly bizarre and incredible phenomenon has just occurred here on Earth from space, and it could change communications forever.

A Chinese satellite floating through space and beaming pairs of entangled photons to two separate locations on Earth just achieved an incredibly amazing and “spooky” effect known as quantum entanglement. In a study published in the journal Science, the particles ended up separated by 746 miles on the ground, but they remained mysteriously connected all the way down.

It’s a huge discovery that could lead to breakthroughs in the field, and perhaps result in the creation of some sort of incredibly secure global communications network with quantum encryption that would be virtually impossible for anyone to crack.

Experts have called quantum entangelment “spooky action at a distance.” It would be as if you flipped two coins and every time they landed, one read heads and the other tails, no matter where the two coins were on Earth. You would know what the other coin would read simply by flipping your own coin.

That’s why this is such a significant discovery. Not only would it have big implications for our understanding of quantum mechanics, it could have serioiusly important practical uses. If you wanted to send a coded message, you could use this method to essentially give them a secure key that only allows them to translate the message. By using this method, if a spy tried to steal the code-breaking info, this would disrupt the entanglement and alert the two people talking that there had been a breach.

“Quantum communication scientists have a fundamental interest in distributing entangled particles over increasingly long distances and studying the behavior of entanglement under extreme conditions,” reads the statement from the University of Science and Technology of China. “So far, entanglement distribution has only been achieved at a distance up to ~100 km due to photon loss in optical fibers or terrestrial free space.

“Distributed entangled photons are readily useful for entanglement-based quantum key distribution, which, so far, is the only way to establish secure keys between two distant locations on Earth without relying on trustful relay. Another immediate application is to exploit distributed entanglement to perform a variant of quantum teleportation protocol for remote preparation and control of quantum states.”

    Science is the most popular religion of Euro Americans. In this religion every Euro-American boy and quite a few Euro American girls are “geniuses”. These young white [people will be lavished with financial awards and incentives. They will be treated to all kinds of costumes and ceremonies their special status above poor and colored people who just never seem to make the standards.

    After being certified by dozens of teachers and institution of Euro American knowledge they will be handed the keys to institutional power. The geniuses will explain to the whole world why it is so important to spend trillions of dollars on sending Euro-American geniuses millions of miles away to perform tricks on the surface of Mars ( something that could be done at little risk or expense with robots). Sending humans to Mars is nothing but a giant welfare program for Caucasian “geniuses”.

    Western Science is nothing but a gigantic fraud. Billions are spent every single year on welfare for Euro American scientists who ignore the horror of colonial war and Euro-American world domination. Spend those billions on eliminating the scars of Euro American Imperialism and Racism. These same “scientists give cover to the horrors of American Industries that are plunging the planet into a death spiral of thermal pollution.

    Western Scientists are spinning stupid fantasies of an Alt-planet while the whole world burns. The Eurocentric view of the world is toxic to humanity. The whole gigantic world of science and medicine is a perverted system of reinforcing class divisions in society. Wake up and get angry about it.
