<p>I find the subject of quantum entanglement as one of the most interesting areas of modern science. I find this fact of nature as "proof" that of the mechanics of the Universe, despite the fact that humanity has learned a great deal and has made considerable inroads to its understanding (of Universal mechnanics) - especially recent centuries - that what we know is really nothing compared to what is knowable. Quantum entanglement, dark matter, and so on are glarring examples of Universal mechanics waiting to be understood. And as we begin to find its clues, new huge cans of worms will begin to open up and each worm will be more puzzling than the canister that opened them.</p><p>Now that I have gotten that off my chest, let me offer my opinion of what exactly may be going on with quantum entanglement and I would welcome any comments on why I may right or wrong in my thinking.</p><p>Assuming string or m theory is correct with the notion of the physical existance of dimensional space beyond our four space-time dimensions, when we create a pair of particles and then separated them, the pair can only be separated within our 3D spacial plane; therefore, the pair is still joined on spacial planes beyond the three we have manipulation over. A local communication path between the partcles therefore really does exist but is existing on an invisble dimensional plane. And, while we may see that the two paticles are away from each other, this is only true for our visible three spacial planes. For an unknown number of planes invisible and unmanipulatable by us, these particles still touch and exchange information free of any real spacial distance to travel. </p>

Sometimes I believe that the invisible dimension may just be time itself. A lot of string theories just assume that time exists. When you talk of a vibrating string in any dimension you are making an assumption about the nature of time because without time there is no such thing as vibration. Scientists have proven that clocks tick at different rates depending on gravity and speed and other factors so we cannot just take time for granted or assume that it is constant or even linear. Normally when we separate objects by distance we are also separating them in time because (supposedly) it would take a finite amount of time to bring them back together again. Perhaps quantum entanglement maintains the time connection</p>

&nbsp;&nbsp; Could quantum entanglement explain the release of information jetting out of a black hole, making it (black hole) a possible&nbsp;link to another dimensional plane?

Posted by PJay_A</DIV><br /><p><br />the one problem I see with your idea is that such hypothesis could never be positively determined even if it should really happen to be so, as it is I see your proposed 'solution' as sweeping the problem under the carpet and doing away with it that way, i.e., it is too facile solution </p><p>it is still not certain that the communication we speak about here is instantaneous but it has been determined to be faster than several times the speed of light (I think, not sure at the moment what the real figure is) and it is not ruled out that we might be looking at some very high speeds to be sure but yet not instantaneous communication</p><p>after physics advances in future decades or centuries, we will either arrive at some acceptable solution (acceptable in the sense that even today's scientists would be satisfied with it given the current view of physics) or else we will find a way to accept it as it is - that is recognize it as some fundamental feature of reality somewhat as we have accepted in the past that the speed of light is constant, nobody seems to be puzzled by that now and in the same way nobody will be puzzled by infinite speed of communication of entangled particles in the future when some theory might be built upon that feature taking it as postulate </p><p>&nbsp;</p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
