Propose an experiment:

Simultaneous test of matter warping space (Gravity) and quantum entanglement "spooky action" at a distance where the spin of the other particle instantly changes to clock or counter clock.

Will the result be that both Symmetric Changes are instantaneous?

Or will it be like the old experiment in the race between light and sound. Where from a distance we can see the hammer striking the metal fence pole a few seconds before we hear the corresponding sound?

In other words, light is much faster than sound.

Is "spooky action" faster than gravity or vice versa.

"Spooky action" has no speed. It only appears after two remote measurements are compared. At best, that information travels at the speed of light.
 
You are right spooky action is instantaneous. It doesn't just appear. It is my conjecture that it is symmetric change. Speed limit of Symmetric Change is instantaneous. We cannot observe it. We can only observe the end result (the change in spin)

But, is the warping of space when exposed to matter also instantaneous?

Are there any scientific experiments testing these results?

I never said that. What I said means that it does not make sense to discuss the speed of "spooky action at a distance."

We do not discuss personal theories at PF. (*)

What does it mean to expose matter to space? Wasn't that matter already somewhere?

(*) therefore I am closing this thread.
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles.

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
According to recent podcast between Jacob Barandes and Sean Carroll, Barandes claims that putting a sensitive qubit near one of the slits of a double slit interference experiment is sufficient to break the interference pattern. Here are his words from the official transcript: Is that true? Caveats I see: The qubit is a quantum object, so if the particle was in a superposition of up and down, the qubit can be in a superposition too. Measuring the qubit in an orthogonal direction might...
