Re: First image of particle entanglement
#2Strange way of throwing Einstein's name into the title for linkbaiting sake. It's not his particle entanglement but John Bell's if anyone's, calling it "spooky" is Einstein's contribution, at least in the context of the article.
I had the BBC as a reference on journalism, but from a quick glance over the headlines at least its website looks like it's lost some decency in that respect.

Well then set up two particles on opposite sides of the planet and send communications via this entanglement at the speed of.. light?
And yes, I have near zero knowledge of particle physics!

Einstein described quantum mechanics as "spooky" because of the instantaneousness of the apparent remote interaction between two entangled particles.
The interaction also seemed incompatible with elements of his special theory of relativity.
Scientist Sir John Bell __later__ formalised the concept ...

The mathematics of entanglement doesn't allow it to be used for communication.

Ok, we've deeinsteined the title above.

#10So what exactly is this a picture of? Two entangled photons? I don't have the background for the full maths involved here, but there's not enough in that article to tell me why it's exciting ...
