Spooky Behavior

If the Big Bang Theory is correct then all matter was once at a single point, so could it be that the reason particles can affect eachother instanteously - Einsteins "Spooky action at a distance" is because all particles in the Universe were once together?

Yeah, but they're not now. That's what is spooky about this. If I recall some of the experiments about this phenomenon, they separated the particles and measured the time for A's actions to be reflected by B. And the time was quicker than the speed of light across that distance would permit. So the "communication" -- if in fact there is a protocol of some sort -- is faster than the speed of light.

That's spooky.

Really spooky.

Spock-mode: Illogical. Completely illogical.
Bones-mode: Cool!
