More observations on entanglement and general comments on 'spookiness'. Is there another level of reality out there? Seems to be.

Though I have studied some quantum cryptography in my networking class this summer. Mindbending stuff... essentially to crack a cipher with a quantum computer, the universe just "knows" the factorization of all numbers (due to entanglement) and will report the correct key. They've demonstrated this for primes under the size of 15. (EDITED) - Of more interest is the quantum property of entanglement. Using that you can actually tell if someone tried to break your code... because the message would be destroyed. That in itself is a problem. (EDITED out bad phrase.) - As for another level of reality I doubt it. Quantum effects are doing their work in our reality, not in an outside reality. - Of more interest to you should be this: - http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/07/090706113702.htm - If string theory starts to produce more results such as this--and multidimensional properties actually emerge as plausible, THEN you have a case.
