<div>'''Action at a distance''' consists of affecting a distant body instantaneously. At the atomic level, this is known as "non-locality".<br />
<br />
Examples of action at a distance in physics are:<br />
<br />
* Newtonian gravity<br />
* Electrostatics (before Maxwell's equations in the 1800s)<br />
* Quantum entanglement within [[quantum mechanics]] (called "non-locality")<br />
<br />
Other observed examples of action at a distance are:<br />
<br />
* Action at a ditance performed by Jesus, as described in [[John 1-7 (Translated)|John 4:46-54]] and [[Matthew 20-28 (Translated)|Matthew 27:51]], and accurately measured by storytelling<br />
<br />
Some scientists have long resisted the possibility of action at at distance (non-locality), and the [[theory of relativity]] assumes that information traveling instantaneously, or faster than the speed of light, is impossible.<br />
<br />
Several theories have been developed as ways of denying '''action at a distance''' (non-locality). These include:<br />
<br />
*gravitons<br />
*string theory<br />
*quantum field theory<br />
