Wherein Chad Orzel has a completely justifiable little stroke.

I believe the phrase he uses is, "Aaaaaarrrrrrrrrggggghhhhhh!!!!!" And it is prompted by the following interchange (actually, unlike the experiment they are referring to, no information is actually being exchanged between these two dense masses):

DC: Is our conversation affecting something in another galaxy right now?

MK: In principle. What we're talking about right is affecting another galaxy far, far beyond the Milky Way Galaxy. Now when the Big Bang took place we think that most of the matter probably was vibrating in unison.

DC: So it was already correlated?

MK: It was already correlated. We call this coherence or correlation. As the universe expanded, we're still correlated, we're still bound by these invisible webs. You can't see them. The book Physics of the Impossible is being filmed for the Science Channel and we actually filmed this quantum entanglement.

DC: You actually demonstrated this?

MK: We actually demonstrated it right on TV cameras. We went to the University of Maryland outside Baltimore and we showed an atom being teleported right across the room. You can actually see two chambers, an atom in one being zapped across the room. A TV screen shows the blip whenever an atom is being teleported and this is non-local matter.

DC: That means going from here to there without the space in between?

MK: That's right it just disappears and reappears to someplace else.

Ah....goof. Dig it, baby. Deepak Chopra should not be allowed near science words. He is such an idiot. Read all about it at Uncertain Principles.
