In quantum terms he is measured and forced to take a value.<br \/>\nAn observer can now deduce that Fred&#8217;s wallet is green, and if put to the test this will prove to be the case no matter where or when Fred is interrogated.<br \/>\nThere is no need for faster-than-light communication or spooky interaction at distance &#8211; just knowledge of the initial conditions.
