In 1982 an experiment was conducted by a team led by French physicist Alain Aspect. They found that under certain circumstances subatomic particles such as electrons are able to instantaneously communicate with each other regardless of the distance separating them, whether an inch, 100 feet or 10 billion miles apart.
Somehow each particle always seems to know what the other is doing. This spooky occurrence violates Einstein's speed limit, the linchpin of his theory of relativity that is really about an absolute--namely, the speed of light. It's a long-held tenet that nothing can travel faster than that speed of 126,000 miles per second.
Physicists began ...
