"John clauser of JF clouser and associates Elaine aspect of the institute, the optical institute of France and Anton xylene area of the university of Vienna and Austria. They won for independent work that they've done over many decades, all related to quantum mechanics. All achieving a similar and rare goal of proving Einstein wrong. So Einstein famously had issues with the more bizarre nature of quantum mechanics, famously referring to those parts of it as spooky action at a distance, which is very appropriate for this month of October. Of course, his perhaps more famous quote, God doesn't play dice with the universe, was also a jab at the belief that quantum mechanics showed that nature was fundamentally uncertain random and probabilistic. So yeah, a lot of big towering scientists believed it. Einstein and a few others didn't. Einstein believed that at a fundamental level, nature was knowable and concrete with none of the impenetrable fuzziness that has been ascribed to it. So now Einstein codified this position of this fundamental nature of reality, if you will, in his very famous EPR, paper with scientist Boris podolsky and Nathan Rosen that's EPR Einstein podolsky Rosen. In that they said quantum mechanics must be incomplete since it predicts that measuring one particle could affect another correlated particle, millions of miles away instantly. This, of course, is quantum entanglement, which we've talked about many times, which kind of became the poster boy for proving that the universe was not spooky. Now, the next chapter of the saga occurred when John Stewart bell is a theoretical physicist at CERN. He famously described the thought experiment that could decide who was correct Einstein or quantum mechanics to send essentially. And this is where these newest Nobel Prize winners come in, at least in my narrative description here. So doctor clauser was the first to test John bell's thought experiment going in clouser thought Einstein was right and that there was a deeper layer to quantum mechanics that could predict and then do away with this apparent randomness. So in this experiment, thousands of entangled photons were sent in opposite directions, each detector showing randomly polarized light either up down. Down, down, up, up, up, down up. I mean, just like random up and down. But when you compared when you compared the paired detectors on each end though, each one was paired, each up was paired with a down and vice versa. So something was definitely going on there. Classical physics could not explain it, nor could Einstein's laws. Weird and counterintuitive, quantum entanglement had passed its first major test. So now I'm sure clouser was happy, but as a good scientist, he then considered loopholes to his experiment or somebody unreasonably attached to his pet theory. It could also explain that behavior, but I'll say he was a good scientist. So he was thinking about the loopholes and how to close his experiment and basically raise the sigma to a more acceptable level. So one of those was the locality loophole in which the laboratory instruments themselves might have been leaking information to each other. Now Nobel Prize winner number two enters this story. Elena SPECT, he also wanted to turn bell's thought experiment into a real boy, a real experiment, and he aspect targeted clauses locality loophole by changing the experiment to remove it in many ways. He changed the experiment by changing the direction that they measured the photon, the photons every ten nanoseconds preventing, trying to prevent any sharing of information since the photons were already in the air. They couldn't communicate. That fast. So that was a really big experiment that he did, and he again showed Einstein to be wrong. And also put quantum entanglement on the map in a real sense. He really had helped make it be even much more acceptable and to be really have other scientists consider this and try to use this for other endeavors and try to apply it. It really put it on the map, so to speak. And then came the third, the third Nobel winner Anton xylan, he took aspects experiment and basically made it even better. He made it even more random and unpredictable. You know, really throwing randomness in there so that there was just to do away with any kind of any lingering aspects of this locality loophole that might have been in there. And essentially, it seems like that xy linger essentially locality loophole. And since then, he's been even going beyond that to try to remove any of the other minute possibilities for bias in any of these experiments. Now, after so many so many years, they really am glad that they are showing these guys. What they have accomplished, quantum entanglement, and that aspect of quantum mechanics that riled up Einstein so much. It really is a critical and fundamental aspect of quantum mechanics that nature is. It is probabilistic. And it is there is uncertainty that's unremovable unremovable. There is that fuzziness that we will never get past. This is like the base operating system of the universe. It really seems that way. There are no hidden variables underneath there that would allow any type of predictability that Einstein would have loved. He was absolutely wrong on this. And it was kind of, you know, it's a little sad after accomplishing so much. He really just couldn't get past this problem. He had with quantum mechanics. A field that he was one of the founders of and now, if you look at the research that has been applied, a $1 billion a year have been going to develop fields related to this aspect of the universe quantum entanglement

"K two vision RLE. Thank you for joining us tonight. As we look at these top stories, The White House says President Biden does intend to run again in 2024. The president reportedly telling the reverend Al sharpton last month he will seek reelection while the two pose for a photograph in the Roosevelt room at The White House. White House press secretary karine Jean Pierre reiterated this on Tuesday today, saying that Biden himself has said that he intends to run in 2024. Big sports headline tonight, Yankee slugger Aaron judge is now the all time single season home run leader in the American League after hitting number 62. He broke the tie he had with Roger Maris after a Homer against the Texas Rangers in Arlington this evening. And Red Cross volunteers from the northwest have landed in Florida to help communities impacted by hurricane Ian, they are assisting with shelters food and cleanup. The Nobel Prize in physics awarded to a trio of scientists today, including one American Joel achenbach is covering the story for The Washington Post and spoke with our Taylor van size. Joel, the award recognizes these three men for their work in quantum information science. It's a bit of a heavy science topic that most of us probably didn't learn in the classroom. What were these men able to accomplish? Yeah, it's kind of a classically heavy, the will during brain boggling topic, quantum mechanics. Essentially, they're all three experimentalists. They did their work first when John clauser, who's the American, he did his work in the late 1960s, early 70s. They built this contraption, this apparatus beamed photons, light particles in opposite directions and showed that essentially what happened to one would affect the other. Supporting this whole quantum mechanical theory called quantum entanglement. It's counterintuitive, essentially these particles are not in contact with each other. So why would affecting one affect the other? Einstein said no way that spooky action at a distance he didn't believe it, but Niels Bohr and Schrodinger are some of these other famous physicists from the 20th century said, no, that's just how reality seems to work. And so their experiments supported that. I'm sure that was totally clear to you. I'm just telling you, it is pretty obtrusive. You know, it's better than magic school bus could have done Joel. I think I appreciate that. Like you said, this experiment that's work that they did is more than 50 years old in some cases. How is it going to impact future scientists? Well, it already has. I mean, essentially a lot of the technologies we use today employ quantum mechanics. I mean, a lasers in transistors and all these things they follow quantum mechanical principles, which and I think the audience is probably heard about nature being kind of a probabilistic thing. It's not all classic billiard balls rolling into each other and having an obvious reaction. So this theory is well supported in reality as we discern it and technologies as we use it, but the way it can be used in the future is with quantum computing and cryptography, codes that can never be broken, encryption that can help be broken. And that people are really excited about that. That's a big field right now. And finally, Joel, unfortunately, it sounds like there's just more rain for the parade of those who wanted to hear Beam Me Up Scotty. No teleportation in the future. It looks like you might be able to send some information somehow, but you have to be able to beam down to the planet with the people eating purple plants on them, whatever, no. You're going to have to stay on the spaceship. Darn. Okay, well, maybe next Nobel Prize, then we'll have something different. You can read about this year's quantum information sciences, Nobel Prize for physics online at Washington Post from Joel auchenbach. And as northwest news radios, Taylor van Sykes.

"To have a fortress balance sheet. They'll be in line with Jamie Dimon in the fortress balance sheet circuit. Bill, you joined drex and Burnham Lambert in 1980 and for those folks in our audience that don't know about it. Drexel was a powerhouse on Wall Street. They effectively with Michael milken at the helm of their junk bond created the junk bond market. What was it like at drexel 1980? Believe it or not, I was on milken's trading floor at 6 30 in the morning. The Monday morning after Ivan bosky was arrested. Ah. Okay. So Mike milken was a great financier. And I think the lesson to that story is when you get more success than you can handle, you better darn well have a good management and administrative function surrounding what you're doing, otherwise the most successful things can have a collapse. Now, as a trading desk in Los Angeles, resorts at New York. That's right. They moved everything else, Los Angeles. Pills to me, thank you so much. Greatly appreciate stunning track record in value. Management as well. Dial up, wow, look at that, Paul. 504 points. We'll take that. It's a little 30,000. We just printed 30,000. Bill Smith comes to New York. That's two days in a row. To the moon. It's very good. The vix comes in solid from 30 down to 28.56 with our news in New York City. Here's Michael Barr. Tom Paul, thank you very much North Korea launched an intermediate range ballistic missile over the Japanese territory. Residents in northern Japan were told to take cover as the missile flew over and fell into the Pacific Ocean. Former State Department official Steve ganyard says even though the missile does not have the range to hit the U.S. mainland, it could do damage to our allies. Kim Jong-un doesn't like to be out of the spotlight, so he has gone back to a missile that we've seen before, 8 times before the hua song missile, about 2300 miles with a nuclear weapon, could reach Guam, but maybe not Australia, but remember that North Korea's best client is Tehran. And so this is plenty of range to go from Tehran to say Tel Aviv. Riyadh. Former State Department official Steve ganyard spoke to ABC. Ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky said that liberating settlements from Russian occupation is now the trend. His comment comes after these strategic eastern town of Le Mans was fully cleared, the town is part of the region's Vladimir Putin annexed following referendums termed illegal by Ukraine and its allies.

"World leaders are scrambling to respond after North Korea launched a missile over Japan, triggering an emergency warning for people in the path of the missile. South Korea announced that in a joint bombing drill with the United States to precision missiles were launched at virtual targets on an uninhabited island off the coast of the Korean Peninsula. It's a direct response to the North Korean missile launch. This is the first time in 5 years that North Korea has fired a ballistic missile directly over Japan. Sirens wailed and TV and radios erupted with rare and urgent warnings for citizens in the north and on islands near Tokyo to seek shelter. Florida governor Ron DeSantis was defiant when asked about evacuation measures in Lee county ahead of hurricane Ian. County officials have come under question for when they ordered evacuations after Ian storm track made a late turn south for a more direct hit The Santa's defended Lee county officials for their handling of the hurricane. We should be focusing on lifting people up and stop incessantly talking and trying to cast dispersions on people that were doing the best job they could with imperfect information. Governor desantis later said the state will, of course, look over its hurricane response. The Nobel committee announced the prize for physics today. Elena specked John clauser and Anton zell linger and won there for their contributions to quantum mechanics. Hans Elgin is secretary general of the royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. They received the prize for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science. Hans elden with the royal Swedish academy says their work is used in encryption and other fields. It is the latest effort by The White House to focus attention on abortion rights in the November midterm elections.

Live from NPR news in Washington on corva Coleman, this year's Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to three scientists, French man Alain aspect, American John clauser, and Austrian Anton xylan. They're being cited for work on subatomic particles. This enables practical research on supercomputers and encrypted communication. The situation remains dire in southwestern Florida where hurricane Ian made landfall nearly a week ago. Florida officials say the death toll is at least 99 people, Florida governor Ron DeSantis says search and urban rescue teams are still at work and have completed nearly 2000 rescues. More than 1000 personnel have gone door to door to 65 different structures to check on occupants. And those are mostly structures in the really hard hit areas. The barrier islands and the like. Bridges, two barrier islands, are washed out, roadways are still flooded and cell phone service isn't reliable, power remains cut off to nearly 450,000 Florida customers, according to the site power outage dot U.S.. The Biden administration is condemning North Korea's launch of a ballistic missile, it flew over northern Japan today, and Pierre's Giles Snyder reports The White House is calling the launch dangerous and reckless. The White House National Security Council issued a statement shortly after the launch calling it destabilizing and saying it showed what the NSC said was North Korea's blatant disregard for UN Security Council resolutions and international safety norms. The North Korean missile was the first to fly over Japan in 5 years. Residents of northern Japan were told to take cover and train service was temporarily suspended. The missile was believed to have flown more than 2800 miles before falling into the Pacific Ocean. The U.S. says national security adviser Jake Sullivan has spoken with his Japanese and South Korean counterparts, pledging to defend the U.S. allies amid efforts to limit North Korea's weapons programs.
