Penrose thinks that there is some real, physical “collapse” of a quantum superposition as objects grow big enough for gravity to become a significant part of the picture. Therefore: quantum mechanics might break down when confronted with gravity – when objects get big enough to “feel” significant gravitational force – so quantum mechanics needs modifying or reinterpreting.
Interesting, in the description he says “Most entanglement videos discuss the concept just using Bell States, which were first discussed by Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen, in their paper on the EPR Paradox. These states are special cases that allow us to understand what an entangled quantum state is most easily, but they aren’t the general case. I wanted to discuss the general case here, and what it specifically means to have an entangled state.”
Bell Test debunked – they are not entangled – its not that seeing one glove makes the other’s wave function collapse, just that if this one is a right hand glove, then the other is known to be a left hand glove – no spooky action, no magic, get over it.
'Quantum Entanglement for Babies' is a colourful and simple introduction to one of nature's weirdest features. Entanglement has puzzled even the world's greatest scientists. Maybe with an early start, baby will be the first to understand it!
