"Entangled Particles" Allow for absolutely crazy things?
I was reading a little bit about entangled particles... I can't be sure how much of it I grasped, but as I understand it for every particle in the universe spinning in direction X, there is another particle spinning in the exact opposite direction. When you change the spin of one the spin of the other changes as well.. has something to do with Schroedigner's box if I remember.
Anyhow... this got me to thinking. The monitor I'm staring at for instance, is made up of particles. If the exact (opposite) corresponding group of particles in the universe were acted upon in an identicle way... my monitor could say - fly across the room? This seems absolutely crazy to me, but at the same time it seems like the theory allows for it?
If such a thing could be possible, it doesn't make sense to me how the universe can maintain any sort of stability, with particles flying all over the place and interacting, it would seem that everything would be getting ripped apart. Someone help! :)
