The 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics
METAVITAL is also pleased
It’s time once again for the Nobel Prizes to be awarded. And so it is with the award for physics.
Entanglement is one of the most puzzling and frightening phenomena for the human mind, if you want to imagine what is behind it. I emphasize here “if you want to imagine it”. The really cool theoretical physicists simply say: “What’s all this whining about? With entanglement, you describe the state of two particles using a special set of equations. They are precisely defined and there’s nothing mysterious about them.” Well – if the idea of a direct interaction over arbitrary distances and the associated loss of causality doesn’t worry you …
Entanglement occurs when two quantum mechanical particles assume a common state. The state of one particle determines the state of the other particle and vice versa. This means, for example: A pair of entangled photons is generated. If the polarization of one photon is measured, then the polarization of the other photon is also immediately known, even if the other photon is hundreds of thousands of kilometers or even light years away.
Like Einstein, the young physicist John Clauser was at war with quantum mechanics. While rummaging through his institute’s library, he came across a publication (Bell’s inequality) by a relatively unknown scientist that described how to end the dispute between Einstein and the “thoroughbred quantum mechanic” once and for all. Full of enthusiasm, Clauser carried out the experiment, but much to his chagrin, he repeatedly obtained results that harmonized perfectly with the predictions of quantum mechanics. The Einsteinian idea of hidden parameters therefore had to be buried and Clauser had to somehow come to terms with quantum mechanics.
The second Nobel laureate, Alain Aspect, optimized Clauser’s experiment and closed the last loopholes that the advocates of hidden parameters could have used to save their theory.
The Austrian Anton Zeilinger is working on the practical applications of entanglement. Well, I admit, the application is not really suitable for everyday use. But Zeilinger and his team have succeeded in teleporting quantum mechanical particles over considerable distances in zero time. Exactly how this works is beyond the scope of this article. But if you are interested in the topic, then take a look at YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-33etw1WNEM. This video is also easy to understand for the physics layman. Zeilinger’s nickname, Mister Beam, can easily be traced back to the beaming on the Starship Enterprise. However, it will probably be several years, decades or even centuries before people can be transported by means of entanglement.
Just think of our cell analysis BOX. You can use it to examine and diagnose people and animals without them having to be present. This gives rise to the idea that the phenomenon of entanglement has a hand in this.
Quantum mechanical processes are an essential part of the MNLS method. Biophotons, exitons and polarons – all processes that are presumably important for the communication of information and the control of metabolism – may also be entangled. My physicist’s heart is about to run away with me and write pages and pages about science. But I would like to spare you that.
If you still have an indomitable hunger for information, I would like to recommend the publication by Professor Gariaev, Prof. Buchheit and my all-time favorite classic “From the NLS to the MNLS method” by Klaus Valentiner.
The Valentiner book is available directly from the METAVITAL store, the other publications will be available on the METAVITAL website in the medium term as part of our specialist literature project.
