SUMMARY

The Bohm experiment, specifically related to the Aharonov-Bohm effect, demonstrates that changes in one particle can instantaneously affect another particle, regardless of the distance separating them, suggesting a form of faster-than-light interaction. This phenomenon challenges classical notions of locality and has implications for quantum mechanics. The experiment does not conclusively prove faster-than-light communication but indicates that quantum entanglement allows for correlations that defy classical speed limits. For a deeper understanding, refer to the detailed explanations available at the provided link.

Can someone please tell me what exactly the Bohm experiment was in which he seemed to show that (and I am not exactly sure of this) that a segment of a particle (call it particle split "A") split from another particle segment (Call it particle split "B") could result in particle split A causing in a reaction to particle split "B" in less time than it would take for light to travel from particle A to Particle B? If someone could explain what happened during this experiment (and maybe even how it was that a person could measure that a faster than speed of light transmission of reactivity has occurred) I would greatly appreciate it. Does Bohm prove that faster than light activity is a reality or what exactly was the experiment and what did the results suggest?
