Talk:action at a distance

RFD discussion: February–April 2018
SOP. --Per utramque cavernam (talk) 09:11, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Can you do me a favor and explain why you think this is SOP? "without touching one another" isn't directly synonymous with "at a distance"; "at a distance" means "far away from" AFAIK. PseudoSkull (talk) 16:52, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
 * And so as such, keep. PseudoSkull (talk) 01:00, 20 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep. The meaning is not obvious to most people. In many, if not the vast majority, of usages it's a technical term. -- · (talk) 07:53, 18 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Sometimes called spooky action at a distance (we also have that entry). Equinox ◑ 01:02, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
 * No, that's a different concept. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 01:08, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Do you think the terms are etymologically related (i.e. one influenced by the other)? PseudoSkull (talk) 01:33, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, obviously. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 07:01, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
 * No, not "obviously", because I did not know the context, and this is a dictionary so these things should be made very clear at their entries. For instance, if spooky action at a distance came from action at a distance, the header should say spooky action at a distance rather than spooky action at a distance.

 * , indeed it should. I have now edited the page to link it properly. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 04:31, 4 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep per above. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  11:26, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep, more specific than its parts. —Mahāgaja (formerly Angr) · talk 11:30, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. This actually has multiple senses in physics.  Nicole Sharp (talk) 13:47, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
