/sci/ - Science & Math

So let me get this straight: 2 particles are created at the same time, and then when you later measure some property of one of them, you can use this to predict the outcome of a measurement of some property of the other particle. Why do people act like this is some super duper strange unintuitive concept? Clearly the values you're measuring were there all the time, from the moment the particles were created together, you just didn't measure them yet.

So I was flicking though this thread >>8992570 and some of the posts were pretty dire. It looks like the majority of people in that thread don't understand how science functions, nor how it [math] can [/math] function. In particular there seems to be a common theme running thought it that you need evidence that something doesn't exist. Now to my mind that doesn't make sense since how can something that doesn't exist ever leave behind evidence that it was never there.

Is it time to start teaching philosophy to children? I can't really see any other way of getting away from the ideas in that thread.

Pic unrelated...Well maybe not that unrelated.
