Document Summary
On a paper published by howard wiseman in nature communications on the 24th march 2015 my real-life situation is the recently found experimental proof for a quantum entanglement effect known as "spooky action at a distance". This effect was theorized way back in 1927 but no experimental proof was available. In spite of the idea not being termed as scientific fact, the theory gave birth to an entire branch of physics. Because of the lack of an experimental proof, the scientific community could not consider the idea of quantum entanglement and its implications, as scientific fact because of the conventions of this knowledge framework. Yet, for some scientists a theoretical explanation and "proof" for quantum entanglement was enough evidence to base their entire life"s work on an idea that was "unproven" and not considered scientific fact. The rls shows the need for knowledge to be justified using evidence.
