spooky action at a distance
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Etymology: Calque of German spukhafte Fernwirkung. Coined by Albert Einstein in a letter to Max Born on 3 March 1947 to express his scepticism about quantum mechanics, where two particles may interact instantaneously over a distance.
Senses: examples: text: The correlations are thus due either to entanglement, as predicted by quantum physics, or to some hypothetical spooky action at a distance whose speed we wish to bound from below.
ref: 2008 August 14, Daniel Salart, Augustin Baas, Cyril Branciard, Nicolas Gisin, Hugo Zbinden, “Testing the speed of ‘spooky action at a distance’”, in Nature, volume 454, number 7206, →DOI, page 863:
text: Of course, such a correlation is in principle possible to explain without any spooky action-at-a-distance: simply assume that the “particle” really is a particle, with a definite location at all times, and about half the time the particle goes to the right and half the time it goes to the left.
ref: 2011, Tim Maudlin, Quantum Non-Locality and Relativity: Metaphysical Intimations of Modern Physics, John Wiley & Sons, →ISBN, page 240:
text: Once one is lead down this path, it is inevitable to conclude that spooky action at a distance occurs in nature. On the other hand, if one eschews the ontological interpretation of the wave function, then “action at a distance” is, at best, descriptive of the mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics. One must be extremely wary of extending such inferences to physical reality itself.

text: In these forests the biggest moabis emerge from the canopy at a height of 70 metres and their large sinuous branches overhang the old growth (or "primary") forest. […] To reach such proportions, the moabi must withstand competition from the other species in the undergrowth, and wait for an old tree to fall in order to make the most of the resultant gap in the canopy. Moabis which dominate the forest are therefore very old, generally between 600 and 700 years of age, although some scientists have even reported trees which were up to 2,500 years old.
