Quantum entanglement and relativity of time

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion centers on the implications of quantum entanglement in the context of relativity, specifically addressing how the measurement of one entangled particle affects the other when one is traveling at 80% the speed of light. Participants debate whether the effects of entanglement are instantaneous or if they are influenced by time dilation experienced by the moving particle. The conversation highlights the paradox of simultaneity in relativity and its relationship with quantum mechanics, ultimately questioning the nature of time itself.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of quantum entanglement principles
  • Familiarity with Einstein's theory of relativity
  • Basic knowledge of time dilation effects at relativistic speeds
  • Concept of simultaneity in physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of quantum entanglement on information transfer
  • Study Einstein's theory of special relativity in detail
  • Explore the concept of time dilation and its mathematical formulations
  • Investigate the paradox of simultaneity and its implications in quantum mechanics
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, students of quantum mechanics and relativity, and anyone interested in the intersection of quantum theory and the nature of time.

if there are two entangled particles
one of them is flying 80% the speed of light , one of them is on Earth for instance
if we measure the one on Earth , would it the entanglement affect the other particle after sometime * due to time slowing down for speeding up particle * or does it happen instantaneously ?
if the later is true wouldn't that mean that time is not relative ?
or you can take it the other way , if the speeding one at 2 o'clock for instance
would the entanglement appear instantaneously or would it take sometime to appear due to time is slower in the speeding up particle ? so if it takes a second to measure it on the speeding up particle it would take an hour for instance to happen on earth
