Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the interaction between two molecules or particles, particularly focusing on the implications of changing one molecule's properties and whether such changes affect the other molecule. The scope includes conceptual exploration of quantum entanglement and the nature of particle interactions.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant suggests that changing the motion of one molecule (e.g., from clockwise to anti-clockwise) results in the other molecule adopting the change.
  • Another participant counters that this does not occur, even in the case of entangled particles, as changes to one particle do not affect its entangled partner in a pure state.
  • Some participants express skepticism about the existence of research supporting the idea that one molecule can affect another in the manner described, questioning the validity of such claims.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally disagree on whether changes to one molecule can influence another. There is no consensus, as some assert that such effects do not occur, while others reference significant research efforts related to the topic.

Contextual Notes

There are unresolved assumptions regarding the nature of the interactions between the molecules and the definitions of entanglement and superposition. The claims about research funding and findings remain unverified within the discussion.

Suppose two particles or molecules are generated (produced) together. If one molecule is taken away from the another, let us say to another city. If we make some certain changes in anyone of them, e.g if we change its motion if it was in clock wise and we change it to anti-clock wise. So by making changes in each of them the another one adopts the change itself. WHY?

This doesn't happen, even with entangled particles.

Making a change to a particle here in a pure state (such knowing it is "clockwise" in your example) never changes its entangled partner. Since it is in a pure state, it is not entangled on that basis. Further, if it is in a superposition on a particular basis, you can gain information about it but cannot do anything more than gain the same information about the other one. You can't make it be "clockwise" and transmit that to the other particle.
 
I think so it doesn't happen normally. But the biggest reasearch ever done and costed billions of dollars was this. The research was based on it, why the one effects the another?

Uh, sorry, no such thing happened. I wish even millions were spent. :smile:

Perhaps you have a reference, as around here we like to deal with factual information where possible.
