What Is Quantum Entanglement
Consider tossing a coin into the air. Can you predict the face of the coin after it falls on your hand? Sure, that's easy. The coin will get the face of heads or tails, which is a 50 percent possibility for both of course. That's what happens and you know this because you have witnessed events like this countless times. You have been observing the physics of everyday phenomena your entire life. But suppose we explore a question about the physics of atoms, like what does the motion of an electron around the nucleus of a hydrogen atom look like? Could we answer that question based on our experience with everyday physics? Definitely not, why? Because the physics that governs the behavior of a system at such a small scale is much different than the physics of macroscopic objects. You see you all the time. The everyday world you know and love behaves according to the laws of classical mechanics. But systems on the scale of atoms behave according t...
