Re: Two photons... relative distance question

Wow.
What defines 'non-local'?
How can we rely on the Michelson and Morely experiment if time is
affected by our hurtling through space? (Being genuine, not facetious).
For the record, I believe that we can DEDUCE that something happens
*NOW* distantly. For that deduction we rely on our understanding of
space-time to be accurate, which of course it may not be, but has
proven so far to be reliable enough for our purposes. If we know
anything, this is how we know it - dependent on our assumptions proven
by experience. So ultimately, yes, one can 'know' that something
distant happens 'now', even if we don't measure it directly, because we
can reliably predict the event based on other prior events and our
formulae. For example, I 'know' that right now there are some light
rays leaving the sun headed directly towards me.
I also believe similarly that one can theoretically analyse a scenario
in which distant things are postulated to happen *NOW* and be quite
logical about it. In such an analysis one can define any realistic
event and a theory should still hold water (be self-consistent) when
used to analyse the event, and in this case proving the event by
measurement is of course not relevant.
(Perhaps Dave feels the same way and you have misunderstood each other.
Or [perhaps I have just put myselkf inthe same boat as him?!)
