          At the quantum level you have spiralling little electrons that disappear and reappear in a different place within the atom.. how can you be sure its the same http://electron.you  can't.youd have to tag it so when it reappeared you could see it was the same...

          I think that the electron for a brief moment goes to edge of the universe for all we know and instantly comes back to orbit the nucleus Is it the same electron? Thats a good question But the fact it can travel from one point to another faster then light

          but the way it reappears would suggest that it's a different electron the 're entry is all wrong.. I believe that this minute energy particle can disappear and reappear faster than light.. I believe this energy particle could travel from one side of the cosmos

          Quantun entanglement States that an atom. Connected to eachother can communicate wit eachother faster then light thru insane distances Atoms can literally teleport from one area to the next without ever crossing the space between them
