• Resumen

  • Cartwright talks about Anthony Valentini's visions of quantum death, which began with one of the early rival theories. It was the brainchild of the French physicist Louis de Broglie, and unlike the Copenhagen interpretation makes a clear statement about what is real in the quantum world. Every particle exists in a definite location and with definite properties at all times, and is guided by an equally real pilot wave. Entangled electrons are linked by a pilot wave so that a wiggle at one end--the manipulation of one of the electrons during a spin measurement, for instance--causes an instantaneous wiggle at the other, changing the other electron's properties, too.
