Reading through Anton Zeigler's interesting introduction to quantum mechanical superposition of states, entanglement, teleportation and other issues I have just a few comments to make here.
Zeigler is a physicist who worked on a project to verify elements of non-locality in quantum particles in a 1996 experiment (or was it 1999?). These reader friendly ideaas of a principle author in his area of expertise are usually good reading, as is this one.

I am yet quite curious about the unanswered causal explanation for the entanglement of quantum particles at any distance in theory. Zeigler mentions that a mission to Mars might offer astronouts the opportunity to test quantum theory on the way as they transmit information to Earth control.
Perhaps quantum particles are tied into smaller than planck length spacing and field data that has no relativity problems that are perhaps applicable to macro-universal objects inclusive even of bosons and fermions.
The philosopher W.V.O. Quine wrote a book titled 'Ontological Relativity' about logic and language, and I wonder if aspects of that do not apply to the quantum phenomena a little. Superpositioning of multiple quantum states that are undertermined until observed by a scientist would seem to bring quantum states within an observational ontology in-itself. I wonder if many of the ideas of logic used in quantum mechanical experiments are up to date, and of course I also wonder if the obstructions, filters or quantum switches such as partially reflective mirrors used as beam splitters or ways to give a particular polarization to a phton or bound photon pairs do not determine the system for itself. I thus also wonder if the logic is good. Why one wonders do the photons not respond illogically at times if there is no local reality at some point. Perhaps one might redefine the ontology or meaning of locality.
