 from a humble chemist; as I understand it, if you have two entangled
particles (a) and (b) and measure a property of particle (a) this
instantaneously, and "spookily", determines the property of particle (b), no
matter how far away it is. Measurement of (b)'s property would confirm
this.
But what if the two measurements - of particle (a) and particle(b) - were
done instantaneously? (a) and (b) would both try to exert a spooky action at
once...
