The Torsion Glue of the Universe

The Ghostly Action

USSR, 1985. A.E. Akimov, inspired by long conversations
with Shipov, was examining the formulas covering a metal
board. Before him lay the greatest mystery of the century
- quantum entanglement. Even Einstein, confronted with
this phenomenon, skeptically called it "spooky action at a
distance." The picture was paradoxical: two particles born
together remained inseparably linked. Measure a property
of one - for example, the polarization of a photon here in
the laboratory - and instantly, without any delay, the
property of the other particle, even if it were on the other
edge of the galaxy, would be determined. This contradicted
 the sacred principle of relativity: nothing can travel faster
than the speed of light. So, where did the ghost go?
Whereis its lair?

The Search for the Invisible Messenger

For decades, scientists tried to solve this mystery,
following a false trail. They searched for a signal - some
mysterious wave or particle that, violating all laws, races
from one entangled particle to another to deliver a message.
But in vain. Such a messenger did not exist. Akimov
understood that the mistake lay in the very formulation
of the question. They were looking for a postman where
he had never been. Entanglement is not a story about
message exchange. It is a story about initial unity.

A New Worldview

And then a bold new idea was born. What if entanglement
is not a process but a state? A property of the very fabric
of reality - spacetime. Imagine, said Akimov, an elastic rubber
sheet. Two particles are not two independent balls rolling
on it. At the moment of their creation, they form a rigid
fold, a bridge, an unbreakable connection between them.
They are two points on a single canvas, connected by its
very structure. Measurement is not sending a signal. It is an
action that reveals, makes visible, the geometric connection
that has existed between them from the very beginning. We
are dealing not with two objects in space but with a single
whole, part of which is the space between them.

The Language in Which Space Speaks

What, then, is this "glue" that binds particles? Akimov
and his colleagues turned to the idea of torsion fields
or twisting fields. Einstein’s general theory of relativity
teaches that mass and energy curve spacetime. But what
if quantum spins, the internal rotations of particles, twist
it? This twisting, this "spin," is the torsion field. And
here lies a key breakthrough. Oscillations of pure geometry,
not related to mass or energy transfer, may not obey the
speed-of-light limit! Torsion connection is not a beam
flying through space. It is an instantaneous change in
the property of the very "rod," a single entity for both
particles. Pull one end of an absolutely rigid rod - the
other end moves simultaneously. Not because a signal
traveled along it, but because it is a whole. Similarly,
entangled particles are the ends of a single geometric
structure.

Two Glued Coins

To make the concept clear, Akimov proposed a simple
thought experiment. Take two coins and glue them heads
to tails. Now it's a single object. Throw this pair in different
directions without looking. When you look at one coin and
see, say, heads, you will instantly know that the second one
has tails. Not because a signal flew between them, but
because they were parts of the same structure from the very
beginning. Entangled particles are just like "glued coins".
Only the role of glue is not performed by the substance
but by the geometry of space-time.

A Bridge Between Worlds

Thus, the old paradigm was shattered. There is no need
to search for superluminal signals, because they do not
exist. Entanglement is a manifestation of the fundamental
nonlocality of our universe, evidence of a deeper geometry
of reality. It is not a connection through space but a
connection of space itself. And Akimov concluded that
this new perspective might become the long-awaited bridge
connecting quantum mechanics with general relativity,
opening a new chapter in our understanding of the cosmos.
