My meaning was, each particle is also "on the other side" because of their strange connection, not sure how SRT fits in but tx Bee for rapid response. I do realize that simultaneity issues makes it difficult to say some influence literally goes across the distance (ie, even if we did allow FTL, how does it fit into various reference frames.)Neil Bateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04564859009749481136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22973357.post-31509404170904564182011-11-15T10:44:57.467-05:002011-11-15T10:44:57.467-05:00I found it funnier with chickens ;o).

Then again as he never had any of his own I don’t think he understood their full potential; that is of course only the human variety I mean.
