What are the implications of photon entanglement in a thought experiment?

[Steve Blandford]

How did you find PF?

Google

I have loved the sciences since a young ladd. I have done the experimentation thing most of my life. But never got into school with it. I have been an electrical and mechanical technician most of my adult life and a tinkerer all of my life. I love thought experiments and have thought of one that has bothered me for a couple of weeks. I found this place to maybe throw it in the pot and see how it stirs. Thanks for putting up this forum I think I will enjoy is a lot.

Welcome to the PF, Steve. When you post your thought experiment in the Physics section, try to post links to the reading you have done so far about it. That helps a lot in our targeting the responses to help you the best.

Enjoy the PF!

OK thanks. My reading are long lost in my mind. I really could not pull anything out. I do remember things such as time stops at the speed of light. But where I got that is lost to the ether. Lol. This is no excuse. Just perhaps a reason.

No worries. I saw your post of your question; hopefully you will get good replies. It's a basic question that we deal with all the time, so you should get good replies.

Update -- already a good reply by @phinds
