Actually I don't. I'll grant you I might have to throw them in superfluid He3 or a Bose-Einstein condensate. But every scrap of knowledge we have known to us supports the results being different.

Yes it is. And Albert Einstein fought against this concept never truly accepting it during his entire life. And everything we know today supports the fact that he was incorrect. Look up "EPR" with Google or in Wikipedia for more on this.

I know it is really uncomfortable for humans but think Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. Think Schroedinger's cat. That is truly the universe in which we live.
