5:45 - 6:20 a particle a billion light years away determines the outcome of another instantaneously... So the info from one to the other is travelling faster than the speed of light. He can't understand it. Neither can I - but it is freaking amazing

Soconfused: no information can be transmitted ftl in this setup according to relativistic quantum mechanics.

I was paraphrasing what the guy said in the video... LOL
Expressing that I do not understand it, and neither does he.
I look forward to more info from you on this if you have it

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Many-worlds_interpretation
The many-worlds interpretation is an interpretation of quantum mechanics that asserts the objective reality of the universal wavefunction and denies the actuality of wavefunction collapse. Many-worlds implies that all possiblealternative histories and futures are real, each representing an actual "world" (or "universe"). It is also referred to as MWI, the relative state formulation, the Everett interpretation, the theory of the universal wavefunction, many-universes interpretation, or just many-worlds.
The original relative state formulation is due to Hugh Everett in 1957. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Later, this formulation was popularized and renamed many-worlds by Bryce Seligman DeWitt in the 1960s and 1970s. [ 1 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] [ 6 ] The decoherence approaches to interpreting quantum theory have been further explored and developed, [ 7 ] [ 8 ] [ 9 ] becoming quite popular. MWI is one of many multiverse hypotheses in physics and philosophy. It is currently considered a mainstream interpretation along with the other decoherence interpretations, the Copenhagen interpretation, [ 10 ] and deterministic interpretations such as the Bohmian mechanics .
Before many-worlds, reality had always been viewed as a single unfolding history. Many-worlds, however, views reality as a many-branched tree, wherein every possible quantum outcome is realised. [ 11 ] Many-worlds claims to reconcile the observation of non-deterministic events, such as the random radioactive decay, with the fully deterministic equations of quantum physics.

How to test the many-world interpretation of qm:
you need
a coin
a gun
how to: load the gun and make sure it work properly. Flip the coin. If the coin come up heads, shoot yourself in the head. Repeat twenty times. If the coin came up tails twenty time, congratulations! You have reasons to think the many-world hypothesis is true at p=0.05 significance.

I haven't watched it yet, but i plan to. I would like to say about the entanglement theory and where it leads. If particles have been coming into existence in entangled states since early in the universes formation, then there may be a lot of stuff, even galaxies that are entangled w each other. That means, they may be copies of each other, in flipped states.

Satan,
That means, they may be copies of each other, in flipped states
Or different frequencies.
