For me the interesting thing is that the communication is not, and cannot be, superluminal (faster than light). But the process is supposed to be instantaneous! For anyone who is looking for magic in the real world, HERE IT IS.

My thought images – I imagine a see-saw with an entangled particle at either end. The bar between the particles is the universe itself. Push down one end, the other comes up. Instant action at a distance. You can’t see the bar moving because we are all part of it. It doesn’t ‘move’, either, since all that is changed is the spin of the particle.

Firstly, what you described there has nothing to do with this article. Secondly, what you described there has nothing to do with anything scientific.

Deepak Chopra makes a living out of pseudo-science. His bastardisation of quantum physics is breathtaking. I have seen a ‘debate’ where he claims the Moon is quantum soup until we observe it (at which point the room erupted with laughter). I highly recommend you don’t read any more of his books, and get into some equally exciting but more reality-based stuff like Physics of the Impossible by Michio Kaku.

In no way is quantum physics a confirmation or validation of mystics or psychics. Once they demonstrate the efficacy of their claims, we can look into mechanisms. This hasn’t been done yet.

It is information (ie the state of the proton) that is being teleported.
