Dear PF Forum,
I've been having this question for a long time.
I want to know how or what is measurement.
Supposed there are two observers. Alice and Bob,
They are separated 10 light minutes away. They are in the same frame of reference, meaning that their distance is the same all the time.
Not accelerating frame. So their proper time are the same, clocks are synchronized, and they have the same concept of "NOW"
They make an arrangement.
At 00:10:00, Alice measures her electron. It spins down.
I have two question here.
A. What if Bob measures his electron at 00:10:00? I think it spins up
B. What if Bob measures his electron at 00:11:00? Alice world line hasn't reached Bob's yet.
Considering in their agreement that after Alice measures her electron at 00:10:00,
- she does nothing.
- Bob does nothing either until 00:11:00
will it spins
B1. Up
B2. Random?
Thank you very much for your enlightment.
