The last time I paid good money to buy a new book of modern weird theories like this, the author, in that last book I bought, who was a professor at Stanford, said that if we had infinitely fast light travel, we could build a computer that would answer our questions before we asked them.

That was the last time I threw good money away on modern baloney books.

What he should have said was that with instantaneous light speed, such a computer would answer our questions the instant the hit the “enter” key, no matter how complicated the questions might be. But a computer certainly COULD NOT answer our questions BEFORE we hit the “enter” key.

This type of modern science drivel has come out of the error of the 1905 theory not being recognized as an error, and the “spooky action at a distance” concept of quantum mechanics.

They don’t know what really happens, because they haven’t figured it out yet, so they make up “spooky action” theories that are based on fantasies and science fiction stories.
