Thank you all for your helpful comments. If I might impose on your
generosity with one more question: Has the difficulty with Quantum
Entanglement (which was discussed in the EPR paper) been resolved? That is,
Relativists were averse to the "instantaneous communication" that could
apparently take place between entangled electrons even when separated by
large distances. Since this is now accepted as a very real phenomenon, I was
wondering whether the Relativists have found some way of reconciling this
idea with the principles of Relativity.
Again, I would be very grateful for any input on this.

Thanks
