    Entanglement
AI Thread Summary
Entanglement is a complex topic in quantum mechanics that challenges traditional notions of distance and time. The original poster expresses a fascination with entanglement and suggests a theory regarding the loss of significance of distance at the quantum level. However, the discussion emphasizes that personal theories should be based on established knowledge and peer-reviewed research. Questions about the mechanics of entanglement are encouraged, and resources are available for those seeking to deepen their understanding. The thread concludes by noting that it is closed to further discussion.

TL;DR Summary
A layman's question about entanglement
I am fascinated by entanglement. I have a theory but it's not based in enough physical knowledge for me to say whether or not it makes sense. I suspect on the quantum level that time looses its ability. Thus, distance would lose its significance. So when I hear spin can be affected at any distance is that relevant?
Please be kind as I have a VERY basic understanding in this area

If you want to learn more about QM, then there are many people on here who can help. We won't get sidetracked, however, into discussing your alternative theories.

Your question is too vague to make much sense. Entanglement at one level is well understood, although it may challenge our prior conceptions about how nature ought to work.

Please be mindful of the forum rule about not posting new theories until they have been published in an appropriate peer-reviewed journal.

However, questions about how entanglement works and what is known about it are welcome and can be posted in the Quantum Physics subforum. As @PeroK says, there are many people here who can help you understand this stuff. This thread is closed.

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
