salamisultan··on Analysis of chronic fatigue syndrome study casts doubt on published results
It's terrible. I have a similar condition due to chronic pain. I get told I'm a lazy good for nothing all the time by my parents. I've just accepted that most people won't understand.

Not really. Entanglement isn't anything crazy. It's just a conserved quantity being split among particles during some type of constriction (half-silvered mirror would make the velocities of both deflected particles add up to a straight line for example)

The hidden variable theory makes it more complicated than it is.

If any type of interference or interaction happens to either of the particles after their initial mirror deflection, the correlation is gone. The complimentary nature of the measured values only applies when the particles remain untouched - thats why news articles a couple years ago were praising the ability to "entangle" particles for such a long distance/time. It's not easy to prevent all interaction.

The correlation is really just the undisturbed conservation of some quantity that was divided between the two particles.

In any "path" which splits a wave stream into x%/y% chance of trajectory/spin/polarization, etc, there will be an entanglement. All this means is that for every x% that went one way, y% went another, and the total is 100% ( conserved quantity.)
