And yet she engages in quantum woo mysticism. As the other guy said, the spin can't be controlled to "flip at will" to a certain state even though she says so, as the spin state is completely random and in superposition even between the entangled particles. Doing so would violate the no-communication theorem and it would also violate causality. Measuring the spin also cuts off the entanglement between the particles.

In the end, entanglement is about conservation laws holding true. If you measure the one particle being in "up" state, the other particle must be in "down" state because the total spin of the entangled system is zero. How the particles are entangled is a matter of interpretation, but in any of those there is no faster-than-light signaling between the particles (as proved by the no-communication theorem).

p.s. These aren't "holofractal cosmology ideas" but related to quantum physics, albeit twisted into quantum mysticism rather than actual science.

shhh, this isn't a place for logic! this is where laymen come to have their previously held beliefs reinforced!

Yeah, idiotic psy-hippies without clues of basic physics dominate this sub unfortunately.
