Are there non-local phenomena in quantum physics?
- Locality: Are there non-local phenomena in quantum physics?[16][17] If they exist, are non-local phenomena limited to the entanglement revealed in the violations of the Bell inequalities, or can information and conserved quantities also move in a non-local way? Under what circumstances are non-local phenomena observed? What does the existence or absence of non-local phenomena imply about the fundamental structure of spacetime? How does this elucidate the proper interpretation of the fundamental nature of quantum physics? -- from, List of unsolved problems in physics, Wikipedia
When a particle is treated as a gravitational sink rather than a source, it's field can be said to physically exist in large part before the particle is identified as such -- before the particle is "created" in an induced pair creation for instance. Added to the potentiality is the point of intersection and cancellation of the ever-present field lines originating in large-scale space; the arrow heads are added to the ever-present lines origination at said sources. The gravitational effect of a newly created particle then immediately extends to large-scale space without violating the light speed restriction of special relativity, in possible accord with Bell's Theorem and EPR type experiments demonstrating particle non-locality. This is amenable to direct experiment. A newly created particle considered as a source would have a field that moves outward at finite velocity.
Also, such non-locality is consistent with the two-slit experiment, where it is observed that a particle ostensibly moves through both simultaneously in order to produce interference patterns. The particle is seen more as an absence than a presence -- a cancellation rather than a reinforcement. Such an "absence" is oddly consistent with quantum mechanics in that the electron, for instance, is not considered in the latter as an object, rather a "cloud of probability."
As to the image. The picture would normally be seen as the positive from a film type camera, when it may very well be the negative of the film -- the actuality could be the unseen, i.e. dark mass/energy (voids in the image), and most of the mass of the universe would be accounted for.
Also, this recalls Mach's Principle -- inertia here, depends on mass out there.
The particle infinities problem is resolved as well, avoiding ad hoc "renormalization."
