There are many native English speakers here, most of us can offer great suggestions to the English sentences. I will do my best to go through them all, too. For the Spanish sentences, edit your posts according to the native Spanish speaker's suggestions. Use today's Word of the Day in your own Spanish sentence (and include the English translation as well). Try to use the word in a completely new way and vote on the sentences you like best. The winner will be chosen based upon the correct use of the word as well as the number of votes.
Guidelines:
Write sentences at least 5 words long, but don't write a paragraph either. Write your Spanish sentence, but include the English translation as well. Make the corrections suggested by other users and moderators in the comments section (try not to use personal pronouns unless absolutely necessary). Use your own words! (Don't use a translator, copy from a book, use song lyrics, etc.) Please keep political, religious or personal statements to a minimum. This is a practice game.

Hace unos cuantos años que un físico irlandés imaginó un teorema muy elegante y simple que no depende de la teoría cuántica ni de ninguna otra teoría, el cual demostró que o las partículas no mantienen todas sus características todo el tiempo o pueden comunicarse la una con la otra al instante en violación del límite de la velocidad de luz. Por lo menos esto ese es mi entendimiento, pero como he dicho antes, no soy físico.
A few years ago an Irish physicist imagined a very simple and elegant theory that does not depend on quantum theory or any other theory, which demonstrated that particles either do not maintain all their characteristics all of the time or are able to communicate with each other instantaneously in violation of the speed of light.
