Default Chapter 1 - Mutable Matter

Oh, that makes me wonder. Am I a wave, or a particle? I need
to know! I'm all aquiver!

Mutable Matter

* Quantum entanglement is well known between subatomic
particles but is
not limited to the subatomic world. It's been demonstrated
with atoms
themselves... with matter large enough to hold in your hand.
Matter can
be affected by nonlocal influence.

* Speed of light is not the limit of nonlocality phenomenon.

* Nearly all quantum interactions produce entanglement.

* At absolute zero, where all movement should stop, and
energy should
not exist, it does. Described as Zero Point Energy, or the
Zero Point
Field. This energy exceeds the amount of energy in matter
by a factor
of 10^40. The amount of energy in one cubic meter of space
is enough to
boil all the oceans of the world.

* Zero Point energy is responsible for inertia and gravity.

* Interferometer experiments show that particles of matter
also exhibit
wave behavior, as photons do, passing through both slits
simultaneously.

"But to me, Ghosh's research, and Zeilinger's work on the
double-slit
experiment represent two defining moments in modern physics.
Ghoshi's
experiments show that an invisible connection exists between
the
fundamental elements of matter, which is often so strong
that it can
override classical methods of influence, such as heat or a
push.
Zeilinger's work demonstrated something even more
astonishing. Large
matter was neither something solid and stable nor something
that
necessarily behaved according to Newtonian rules. Molecules
needed some
other influence to settle them into a completed state of
being."

"Theirs was the first evidence that the peculiar
properties of quantum
physics occur not simply at the quantum level with subatomic
particles,
but also in the world of visible matter. Molecules also
exist in a
state of pure potential, not a final actuality..."


If you're not aware of the weirdness of interferometers,
here's a
pretty good demonstration of the "traditional" explanation:
