… The issue of perspective also informs the interpretation of the study, Batelaan said. Classical forces operate locally, affecting only the matter adjacent to those forces. But quantum mechanics—notably quantum entanglement, whereby changes in one particle simultaneously manifest in another entangled particle that could theoretically reside light-years away—isn't bound by distance.
Batelaan said the team's results could be interpreted as evidence of a similarly non-local force. "Here, we have a situation that is non-local but unlike quantum entanglement," Batelaan said. "It is a one-particle phenomenon, not a two-particle phenomenon. So can this idea of things happening without a force be applied in a different context? That's very rare. It's very, very special. I think that what we're on to here is indeed another example of it. ...
