Thanks, Wendy! Much appreciated. And just in case, it’s based on his theory of entanglement, part of which is based on the discovery of spooky action at a distance.
Spooky action at a distance is a crazy thing where one particle can effectively “know” something about another particle instantaneously, even if those two particles are separated by a great distance.
So by Einstein getting close to the screen, he avoids the danger of spooky action at a distance because he is close to the screen rather than far away from it. So by being close to the screen he avoids having to explain spooky action at a distance.
Hopefully that makes sense!
If you Google either Einstein entanglement theory or Einstein spooky action at a distance theory you will probably get a better explanation of the theory and then maybe things will make more sense! Thanks again!
