Unless they're acting on each other through another euclidian dimension that we can't currently perceive in our three dimensional perspective

- thfuran 4y agoHow could there be a higher dimensional, shorter path between the points?
- akomtu 4y agoWolfram speculated on this idea: if spacetime is a graph, it may approximate the 3+1 topology on average, but in some places two distant nodes can be connected by a direct link. I'd speculate further that such isolated links may be enough to entangle low-level quantum properties of two particles, but not enough to be a tunnel even for a single photon.
- feet 4y agoWhy does the path have to be shorter?
- thfuran 4y agoHow would it be relevant if it's not?
- feet 4y agoIs the assumption that a signal needs to travel and that the speed of light is the limiting factor? My thought was that they're interacting in some other fashion, such that they are physically connected to each other. If that were the case, it would be instantaneous
- thfuran 4y agoInteraction via a hidden physical connection would only be instantaneous if that connection were zero length and only apparently faster than the speed of light when the connection is shorter than the shortest apparent path between the two points.
