"Spooky action at a distance" is true... and spooky.

Aspect, Clauser, and Zeilinger are so very worthy of this year's Nobel Prize, and it is overdue by decades.

They violated, in a controlled and repeatable manner, Bell's Inequality, demonstrating once and for all the quantum entanglement isn't simply the result of some "hidden variable" that we have so far failed to detect.

This is hard evidence that the seemingly impossible implications of entanglement are true: there is, somehow, information that can be shared between entangled photons at speeds much, much greater than that of light in a vacuum.

An underlying principle of classical physics is the notion of "locality": a particle can only be affected by interactions with other particles or (from another point of view) within the four fields.

It turns out... that's not true. As much as it breaks our brains to consider the consequences, the universe is non-local.
