    chaotic type of science, rather than the more practical physics, which relied on known factors and pre-determined results. As an aside, however, when it comes to physics, almost everyone knows  Albert Einsteins Theory of Relativity; but few have actually proven that it exists. In determining quantum mechanics and its place within the scientific universe, many researchers have tested many theories  in order to talk down skeptics of this branch of science. This particular paper will examine and explain an article from the March, 1999 edition of Science magazine written by  Andrew Watson and entitled "Quantum Mechanics: Entangled Trio to Put Nonlocality to the Test." The main point of the article involves the  explanation of particles in quantum mechanics; namely that when two particles can be "entangled" - or linked at their creation - that a measurement of one entangled particle is connected  mysteriously to the measurement of the other; even if the particles had separated and were now far apart. This particular article  took the premise one step further, describing Austrian physicists who have found the same similarities and links among a trio of photons, leading the scientists to believe that the detection  of two such photons can preordain the result of the third measurement - even in the case of nonlocality, or rather, even if the particles have split apart from each  other and are in different areas. The results of the experiment, which took place in Innsbruck, were reported in the February, 1999  issue of Physical Review, and according to the researchers, these results can perhaps allow researchers to reduce the random chaos and confusion that the testing of quantum mechanics can generate
