> On October 4th Alain Aspect, John Clauser and Anton Zeilinger were awarded the #Nobel #Prize in physics for proving that the #Universe isn't #locally #real .
What I love about this story is that it's a story of quite literally some of the smartest people who have ever lived being confused and how ultimately #Einstein was #proven #wrong , which doesn't really happen all that often.
That idea of #locallyreal is made up of two concepts:
#Locality is the idea that things are only affected by their local environment - you can't flick a switch in another galaxy hundreds of light years away and instantly see the results here because nothing not even information can travel faster than light.
#Realness though is much harder to explain and that is the focus of the #NobelPrize . ...
