Peak #FermiParadox is civilization standing at the zenith of technological advancement, while simultaneously sitting at the nadir of political wisdom.
Quantum entanglement speed? I wonder what they were actually measuring because that phrase does not make sense to me.
I thought that was supposed to be instantaneous ?
in theory this is true, but if we found a delay we might be able to better study the process of entanglement and collapse of the wavefunction
Nah it propagates. I wanna say it goes at light speed, but there is a delay. If this is actually referencing something new, maybe that's different now.
Found this from yesterday: https://phys.org/news/2024-10-fast-quantum-entanglement-scientists-attosecond.html

The Fermi paradox is the discrepancy between the lack of conclusive evidence of advanced extraterrestrial life and the apparently high likelihood of its existence.
Correct. However the most popular explanation is that technological evolution outstrips cultural evolution resulting in civilizations destroying themselves before they can attain interstellar travel
