Physics Says Reality Might Be an Illusion #didyouknow #shorts

[00:00:00]What if the universe isn't actually locally real? In quantum physics, local realism is the idea that things have definite properties, and nothing can instantly affect something far away.

[00:00:13]It sounds obvious, but experiments testing Bell's inequality say [music] something shocking. When two particles become entangled, their states stay connected no matter how far apart they are, even across the universe.

[00:00:27]Measure one particle here, and the result of the other is [music] instantly correlated. No signal, no time delay, no local explanation.

[00:00:37]>> [music] >> This is what physicists mean when they say the universe may not be locally real.

[00:00:43]Albert Einstein called it spooky [music] action at a distance, because it shouldn't be possible in any classical sense.

[00:00:51]So, the question becomes, is reality something that exists independently, or is it fundamentally connected in a way we don't understand yet? Either way, the universe is not behaving the way common sense says it should.
