There we go. There's that word we hear so often as skeptics, 'quantum'. It seems likely Ky is referring to a state called 'quantum entanglement' that results in entangled particles (and photons) having their states correlated over theoretically limitless distances, through tiny wormholes.

Through the kindness of Gordon Hewitt, I was told about the existence of the Thomas G. Barnes Institute of Physics. I hastened to write to them for information and have received a full reply from its President, Max Cullen. The egregious Dr Barnes is well known to students of creationism as the first Dean of Graduate Studies at the Institute of Creation Research. He is the author of a loony argument for a young earth supposedly based on measurements of the earth's magnetic field. He claims that the magnitude of the magnetic field is decreasing and that it must have had an impossibly large value not long ago. The theory totally ignores the massive evidence for periodic reversals in magnetic field. To illustrate the activities of the Institute, I cannot do better than quote from Max Cullen's paper. These quotations are all entire sentences, with the spelling corrected.
