Quantum Entanglement is an interesting concept that basically throws the proverbial monkey-wrench into basic physics. It occurs when two particles are created from a single source. For example, a photon pair can be created in the laboratory by 'shooting a photon through a specially designed crystal. This results in some of the photons 'splitting' into two photons. However, each photon has a lower energy (or energy frequency). In fact, the total energy of both new photons when summed, equals the total energy of the original. What's more interesting though is that these two photons will be exact opposites of each other. If we look at their 'polarity' and 'spin' (a non-scientific analogy for their quantum state) they will be perfectly mirror images of each other. But it doesn't end there, once created, they will ALWAYS be the mirror of each other.
If we now allow these photons to separate and expose one to say a magnetic field to say increase its spin, when we observe the other particle, its spin also changes (albeit in the direct opposite direction). The other particle INSTANTLY acquires the opposite quantum state of the particle that we passed through the magnetic field. But how is this possible? Einstein also wondered about that, calling it "Spooky action at a distance." He refused to believe that it was possible since it violated the theory of special relativity by implying that a communication was occurring between the two particles that was FASTER than the speed of light. The EPR Paradox that was created in 1935, (EPR standing for the creators - Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen) was a thought experiment that demonstrated that quantum mechanics violated special relativity. However strange, this occurs and has been demonstrated in many experiments. In fact, it has spawned off numerous research areas, including Quantum Cryptography and Quantum Computing. In the computing world, this 'parallelism' is being studied the for parallel computing systems that surpass the performance of current systems, as they leverage this 'instantaneous communication.' Everything Is ConnectedSo what does this all mean? For the particles to instantly communicate over a distance they must be either communicating faster than the speed of light (which most scientists believe to be impossible) or they are communicating in a dimension in which distance does not apply. In this 'dimension' all objects are connected and communicate freely with each other. It is in this 'dimension' or field that all things exist and are connected as one. It is through this that the holodynamic universe communicates and its in this field that the intelligence of creation exists. Lynne McTaggart, in her book The Field, defines this field as the "Zero Point Field" in which everything is connected at the most fundamental of levels.
