Hello all
(this posted for a friend - pleas forgive the garble!)

A friend is interested in finding some references to a
thought experiment he read in `paradigms lost' by
Casti (?). It ring bells with me too, but I
can't place it. The expt. regards an atom
ejecting two electrons with opposite spin,
& taking one of them `far away'...
leads to a contradiction with relativity
& faster than light communication.

If there are references to this paradox other
than in `popular' books I'd like to know.
email replies preferred - I don't often read this
newsgroup.

	thank you
		john Nicoll
