Relativity and Quantum Solved?

[Uncle Gizmo]

Does relativity lie at the source of quantum exoticism?

Since its beginnings, quantum mechanics hasn't ceased to amaze us with its peculiarity, so difficult to understand.

Interesting article. Slightly esoteric, but it provides food for thought on the subject of faster-than-light events.

It's amazing that they've had this information for nigh on 100 years and now it's coming to the fore. I wonder how much advances in computer software have had in identifying the possibilities of this different way of thinking about relativity and quantum mechanics?

I don't know that computers have had anything to do with this. From the article, I infer that it was deeper understanding of QM that allowed them to see the issue they described. We might have had relativity for some time, but QM is still progressing.

I have no idea Richard, but I'm thinking that improvements in computers and software may have enabled them to do mathematics which point at / prove /check things they couldn't before. That's what I was thinking...
