EXCERPT: "A Proposal of a Macrophysical Experiment
The following proposal starts from the fact that entanglement by common future is experimentally proved on the quantum level, and consequently aims at a related experiment on the macrophysical scale. Let there be N test tubes (N is an even number) all filled with the same pure chemical substance, called A, either a liquid or in form of a solution. These test tubes are given numbers from 1 to N, and by a random number generator each is assigned to one of two subsets, named X and Y, where each subset consists of N/2 tubes. In the near future, the contents of each X-tube (apart from a little rest) is to be brought into a chemical reaction with a previously arranged substance called X', and correspondingly for each Y-tube and a different stuff named Y'. The substances A, X' and Y' must be selected in such a way that reactions of the types (A,X') and (A,Y') really do occur and generate new stable compounds, different for X' and Y'. Now it is supposed that the predestined future can have an impact on the substances, clearly distinguished for members of the subsets X and Y, after fixing the assignment to the subsets, but before starting the chemical reactions. This impact can be understood as an adaptation to the future chemical reaction. Hence a substance is required for A which independently from this experiment spontaneously oscillates between two states, e.g., between two stereochemical conformations (stereoisomers). If necessary, energy can be supplied by heat, radiation or shaking (for all test tubes in the same way). The substance must be carefully selected. For example, it is known that chirality is a "classical variable", and hence an experiment on this basis would fail.
A first tentative proposal may be cyclohexane (C6H12), which alternates (mainly) between the chair conformation and the boat conformation. The marked disparity which is of interest here is the unequal distance between the two pairs of H atoms typical of the two shapes: the two pairs of "flagpole hydrogens" of the boat are less distant than the "up and down" of the chair. Therefore, one of the two shapes may better fit the reaction partner X', whereas the other will better match Y'.
If there should be an anticipation of the future chemical reaction, then this can manifest itself by atypical concentrations of two previously adapted shapes (e.g., two stereoisomers) in the time between the arrangement of subset memberships and the reactions; to this purpose, a small sample from each test tube must be saved (unless an unproblematic direct measurement is possible)."
