Quantum question

[ironphoenix]

Read this article on quantum entanglement first.

If your brain hasn't imploded yet, here's a question:

What would happen if Alice and Bob checked the correlations of their measurements before Victor decided whether or not to turn on his entangler?

I don't think it would matter.

Alice & Bob's reading of their measurements is already being affected by Victor's decision made 14 nanoseconds after they took their readings. (Or, perhaps, what A&B read is affecting Victor's decision.)

And, while 14 nanoseconds sounds like a really short amount of time in the human sphere, it is actually a long time in the quantum sphere, or heck, the computer sphere -- a 4 GHz processor would execute 56 instructions in that time.

I think my real problem is that I'm waiting for Eve to intercept the proton stream), because, as a Ghostbuster, she loved Bob first.
