    Stargazing Betelgeuse will be visible as a Supernova in March of 2025

    Thanks Truthseeker, a nice professional analysis. Having a 2023 possible date for a supernova adds "a bit of needed "brightness" to our currently depressing global/political situations.

    Oort Cloud - Agreed Terms.

    I have a list of American politicians who are "for the birds". (Likewise, there is a scatological reference to Bulls and human anatomy which is used more frequently). Having my politician list relocated to the Ort Cloud is, at this technological time, just a nice fantasy so I'll have to settle...

    Oort Cloud - Agreed Terms.

    How stimulating if by whatever random chance a large comet were to zip into our unexpected and unanticipated view waving its tendril tail. I would immediately equip my lawn chair with Johnny Walker Black, instead of Guinness, and happily toast the return of such a comet to my night sky. But...

    Quantum Entanglement - Possible on the Macro Level - Agreed terms assist sensible discussion

    Thanks Cat. If Lady Luck smiles rather than frowns, and, I do get more than a modest win, (i.e.: "A Really Big One"), you will get a percentage, albeit a modest percentage.

    Quantum Entanglement - Possible on the Macro Level - Agreed terms assist sensible discussion

    Ok folks, I'm out of further discussions; I'm just going to buy lotto tickets and trust to random luck. It been a fun and informative discussion series far beyond my ability and expectations. And I still have a bunch of references to review, thanks to you folks.

    Quantum Entanglement - Possible on the Macro Level - Agreed terms assist sensible discussion

    Jzz: Just a personal observation. Some religious groups and sundry religious folks are still "selling" "Heaven for money" now termed tax deductions. In reality, they "sell" hope and relief from induced fear, and a chance for "enlightenment". It's a lucrative business for many which has a tax...

    Quantum Entanglement - Possible on the Macro Level - Agreed terms assist sensible discussion

    Jzz my approach to quantum theories, string theory, politics, religion and people with good intentions is basically prove it. Without independently testable results and openness to falsification, "whatever" is just theory. I used to think that Einstein's idea of a pair of gloves, split into...

    Quantum Entanglement - Possible on the Macro Level - Agreed terms assist sensible discussion

    Cat: I'll be/am plodding through the references including Jzz's paper as my time constraints allow, (my horse duties have to take priority). As for understanding, I'm "a bit" behind the curve having a business oriented background. Not to worry though; I have learned my expensive lesson and...

    Quantum Entanglement - Possible on the Macro Level - Agreed terms assist sensible discussion

    OK now; I never anticipated that my query about the possibility of quantum entanglement at the macro level would resolve into theoretical contention. Being somewhat parsimonious, I was attempting to obtain/glean an "insight" to winning at the sundry "rigged" lottery and other games operated by...

    Quantum Entanglement - Possible on the Macro Level - Agreed terms assist sensible discussion

    Cat: this was a summary article with several references. I remember Oliver as not being involved, but commenting on the implications; this is one of references in the article. I could "kick myself" for not booking marking the interesting article. Thanks.

    Thank you Cat. I'm going to be busy reading. those references. The article that I noted, mentioned one of the links you show above, i.e.: 5 Jun 2019 from quantuminstitute.yale.edu, ...... I remember the name Oliver in the text. (Yeh, I lost access to the specific article in my usual morning...

    Quantum Entanglement - Possible on the Macro Level - Agreed terms assist sensible discussion

    Cat and Jzz, I never thought that the subject of quantum entanglement would actually "entangle" me, a gross novice, and others into such curiosity. I look forward to any further discussions. (By the way, there was an internet article today, 3/5/'22, about a 2019 Yale University paper that...
