Hi everyone
Thanks for taking the time to read my first post.
I was reading Bill Bryson's A short history of nearly everything (which may be like saying that I was reading cat in the hat in an english literature forum, but i shall see).
Unfortunately I don't have the book here, or i would make specific references, quotes and probably be able to research myself on the net easier.
Anyways he mentions particles (which kinds?) always being in pairs, matching and having opposite spins. That in an experiment in Europe, Germany as I remember, these particles were separated eight miles and when spun in an other direction the other particle spun in the opposite direction.
So sorry for such a vague question, but I'm hoping that the boffins here could shed a bit more light on said experiment, did it really happen, how did they do it, and most importantly where can i read more about this?
Thanks again for your time.
