[edit] replicated

I am not sure whether it is an exact replication and I think it is more that every change has an immediate effect on the entangled particle. What that change is though is dependent on the first action was. AceX-102 23:15, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

For instance the spin on an electron, when observed, is immediately countered on its entangled counterpart (or something like that). I only know what I've read in pop science stuff so anything might be right AFAIK. 23:22, 15 July 2010 (UTC) SusanG Toast
I know that's correct but I am unsure of that is always the case. AceX-102 23:23, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

If you split a pair of sub-atomic particles, they will both fly off into separate directions. If you then interact with one of the particles in order to change how it moves (known as its quantum spin), the second particle will also change in the same way, even if both particles are millions of miles apart.

This is known as quantum entanglement which the famous scientist Albert Einstein described as 'spooky action at a distance'. Some supporters of homeopathy have argued that a similar process takes place during succession. That is, sub-atomic particles inside the substance become entangled with sub-atomic particles in the water which gives water its memory.

However, there is currently no proof that quantum entanglement is involved in homeopathy.
