David Bohm and the fish

In 1982, physicist Alain Aspect discovered that subatomic particles like electrons communicate with each other over vast distances, even millions of light years. What is astonishing about this discovery is that the communication happens instantaneously even at opposite ends of the universe. Einstein showed us that faster-than-light communication is impossible. So how can this be? David Bohm suggested that these subatomic particles are not really separate entities but two expressions of a much subtler energy/intelligence system. He said that we only perceive them to be separate.
To illustrate he explained it in this way. You are in one room and a fish in an aquarium is in another room. You are not told how many fish are in the aquarium. Someone has set up two video cameras so that you can see the fish. One camera is in the front of the aquarium and the other is pointed at the side. When you look at the two monitors you initially think that there are two fish, not one. That is because you see one image of the fish from the front and the other from the side. But soon you notice that the two fish tend to move in some kind of synchrony. They float up and down together and when one turns to the side the other turns to face you. You might think that the fish were somehow communicating with each other. Bohm suggested that we were observing one electron from two different angles. In a linear universe this could not happen because of the restraints put on a single observer bound by space-time. That observer is limited by laser-like consciousness. If the universe were a hologram then this observation would be possible, and a great deal more.

  1. the discovery was made by Wolfgang Pauli. IN 30's or 40's if i remember correctly

  2. the discovery is known as - the indistinguishability of the particles.
    Basically it states that 2 fermions (the particles with spin number 1/2ths) cannot be in the same state at once. Therefore if you have a system of 2 electrons with all the same quantum numbers except for spin quantum number , 1st electron s=1/2, second one s=-1/2, then when first one flips its spin to -1/2 due to some interaction with external environment, then the second one IMMEDIATELY flips its spin to 1/2. IMMEDIATELY means that both electrons are connected at very deep level. (that this connection amongst them is INSTANTANEOUS). The discoverer of Quantum Field Theory said that he only describes quantum physics, but does not understand it. But today every idiot puts quantum principles everywhere and publishes a book claiming ridiculous things. 99% of it is a scam and marketing lie. Distance healing exists, many things exist but to connect them with quantum physics is just stupid. The biggest mistake all healers do. We don't even correctly understand what some of the quantum numbers represent, which hold for a SINGLE PARTICLE, and some morons extrapolate such claims to whole universe. There must be something wrong with them. In chinese: Sum Ting Wong.
