Freaky Fzx Friday - Quantum Intertwinedility

Albert Einstein, one of the earliest quantum physicists, was famously opposed to the "random" nature of the universe represented by that very field.  "As I have said so many times, God doesn't play dice with the world."  Einstein was often wrong.

Einstein's special theory of relativity stated that not even information could travel faster than the speed of light, but tiny particles do weird things. The Speed of Gravity is the same as the speed of light but certain quantities are always conserved in our universe and some particle pairs are linked.

Pay close attention, in the video to follow, to the debated interpretation of the the experiment and the final statement on Einstein and his special theory (7:30).

"Quantum entanglement" is the official name of this phenomenon.  Here is another video on the same topic at a much higher level.  "If you want to be at the cusp of the future, you have to be willing to fail.... You better believe it's scary, but it's an exhilarating intellectual adventure....  So if you know what you're doing, don't do it."  (5:45)

Observing phenomena unexplained by your current understanding is a wonderful place to be.  Our problem is that we tend to try to fit whatever we see into what we already "know."
