Title: Einstein and Entanglement Post by: Jitendra Hydonus on Nov 21, 2019 05:07 am Physicists prove Einstein's 'spooky' quantum entanglement Multiple research teams claim to have conclusively demonstrated quantum entanglement, which had been disdainfully dubbed "spooky action at a distance" by Albert Einstein.

So when such theories gain experimental proof it's a big day for physicists. Quantum entanglement is a curious phenomenon that occurs when two particles remain connected, even over large distances, in such a way that actions performed on one particle have an effect on the other. For instance, one particle might be spun in a clockwise direction. The result on the second particle would be an equal anti-clockwise spin. https://www.cnet.com/news/physicists-prove-einsteins-spooky-quantum-entanglement/ |
