AI Thread Summary
The Bohm experiment, particularly related to the Aharonov-Bohm effect, demonstrates that quantum particles can exhibit correlations that suggest instantaneous influences, seemingly faster than light. In this context, when particle segment A affects segment B, the reaction appears to occur without a time delay that light would require to travel between them. This phenomenon raises questions about the nature of quantum entanglement and challenges classical notions of locality. However, it does not conclusively prove faster-than-light communication, as the results are consistent with quantum mechanics without violating relativity. The experiment highlights the complexities of quantum interactions and the ongoing debate surrounding the implications of such findings.

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?
