An interpretation about space and time in quantum
mechanics
There was a repeated experiment where at first, two
protons are
joined and of opposite spins.
Then, the second is taken far
away, and it is acted upon the first
to modify its spin.
The second proton
will change its spin to keep it the opposite
of the spin of the first (change
at a speed greater than the speed
of light).

Now, if you will assume with me that we can apply
the set theory ZFU
to physical space, U (urelements)) being physical space,
you will see
that we get an interpretation of the experiment.
Indeed, as it is not possible to define a distance
in U, the second
proton will not be any more far away from the
first.
Also, if we consider time to be U, we cannot say
that the protons
were separated a long time ago and that there should be no
more
influence.
Such two hypothesis about space and time were
already made in "About
time and time of elementary particles" in ASL Annual
Meeting 2005.
It is not yet clear : are space and time alternatively U ? Is
U
space-time ?
Continuums are still approximations.
Mr Andreas Blass pointed out that, in the
experiment, the first proton
is acted upon for measurement, and he also
pointed out that only the
most used distances are not defined in U.
He is skeptical about the assumptions.
As the hypothesis apply to cosmology, the unity of
physics would be
increased in such a direction.
There was another repeated experiment with a
photon, expected to go one
way, going both two quite separated ways.
Here,
again, if we assume something else about space, the two ways
would be not
that much separated.
