10. In a 1981 paper, Mr. Bell took a swing at Einstein's notion of "hidden variables"
by relating the sock-wearing patterns of his physicist colleague Reinhold Bertlmann.
Mr. Bell noted that if he saw one of Mr. Bertlmann's feet coming around the corner
and it had a pink sock, he would instantly know, without seeing the other foot, that
the second sock wouldn't be pink. To the casual observer that may seem magical, or
controlled by "hidden variables," but it was no mystery to Mr. Bell because he knew
that Mr. Bertlmann liked to wear mismatched socks. Quantum particles behave a lot
more oddly, and, thanks to Mr. Bell's work, experiment after experiment has shown
that to be true.
11. Dr. Gisin and colleagues at Geneva University described how they had entangled
a pair of photons in their lab. They then fired them, along fiber-optic cables of exactly
equal length, to two Swiss villages some 11 miles apart.
12. During the journey, when one photon switched to a slightly higher energy level,
its twin instantly switched to a slightly lower one. But the sum of the energies stayed
constant, proving that the photons remained entangled.
13. More important, the team couldn't detect any time difference in the changes. "If
there was any communication, it would have to have been at least 10,000 times the
speed of light," says Dr. Gisin. "Because this is such an unlikely speed, the
conclusion is there couldn't have been communication and so there is non-locality."
