I doubt telepathy, but I do have a low-level precognition thought experiment handy: In the typical EPR experiment setup, particle A goes one way, and particle B goes another way, to detector-A and detector-B respectively. Now particles A and B are "entangled" (quantum-mechanically) , so that detector-B settings will stochastically influence what detector-A detects (and vice versa). Now suppose detector-A is placed in a person's brain (not far away) in such a way that particle A (via detector-A) influences a neuron or two, but detector-B is light years (traveling distance) away. Can detector-B settings made years in the future influence what the person's neurons do in the present? @philipthrift -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
