Question

If all matter in the beginning was located in a single point or "singularity" wouldn't that mean that ever piece of matter is still "entangled" with one an other?

Answer 1

elaborate

Answer 2

on some level, perhaps not "physical" all matter should be entangled on the quantum level because all matter was once one piece/entangled

Answer 3

sounds like quantum entanglement, which holds true today

Answer 4

the truth is there really isn't a perfect answer to the question, i just wanted some discussion on the subject.

Answer 5

do you understand how quantum entanglement works at a distance?

Answer 6

Yes, if you have 2 particles that are entangled, if one is affected the other is affected instantaneously, regardless of the amount of space between them. if we ever hope to colonize other planets this technique will be extremely valuable for telecommunications. we could have networks between galaxies with literally zero latency!

Answer 7

how do particles become entangled

Answer 8

I'm not very sure how the process works, i know we can do it, and it's not very practical at the moment, but that's how all technology works. we'll get better at it and once we do it will help shape the future of technology. I just thought about entangling internal components within devices, again to reduce the communication time between communicating components IE: ram and processor.

Answer 9

thanks for the info

Answer 11

This is a tricky subject, because entaglement does not implie instant exchange of information. Entaglement between two particles comes from the fact that these particles were in a total spin zero configuration as part of an atom, for example. Somehow, the particles are separated (they decay) and the total spin of both particles no matter how apart they are still remains zero. Therefore, by measuring the spin of one particles one can predict the spin of the other, because the total spin must be zero. Imagine two observers A and B, A measures the spin from particle 1 and B measures the spin from particle 2. Imagine they both write down what they measure. Now picture observer A changes something (eg it starts measuring the spin in the x axis), then observer B will measure something different. But observer B has no way of knowing that observer A changed something, not until they get together to talk about their results. So, basically entaglement does not involve information travelling instantly.

Answer 12

well i have heard scientists saying singularity is a term used to say "i don't know", so strictly speaking anything related to singularity, no one knows
