- TL;DR Summary
- To this day there is endless discussion about the foundations of quantum mechanics with regard to the measurement problem. However there does not appear to be much consternation about how two particles are entangled. Why?
Maybe I've got this wrong, because from what I've been able to glean, how a particle measurement affects another particle which can be on the other side of the Universe in principle is agreed to be 'spooky' and it seems that everyone is happy to simply say, yes this is very mysterious and strange but we've done the tests and it appears to be a fact.
Yet it seems to me that the collapse of the wave function and the foundational question about what constitutes a measurement, is an endlessly opined problem.
Why is it that entanglement does not appear to cause as much foundational consternation as measurement, when in some respects they appear to be similarly problematic.
