What is Quantum Entanglement?
Quantum Entanglement is a phenomena that describes how the measurements of spin, momentum, and position can all be same between two unique particles.
The main issue is that entanglement can only exist for brief moments because any sort of observation or change in environment can break it.
Entanglement is interesting because it can fit well into other theories as well. One example is Hawking Radiation. The very premise of the theory is that an Entangled Photon Pair is separated at the surface of a Black Hole.
How interesting would it be if humans could be entangled with each other?

Teleportation is possible in principle
Recently, scientists were able to "teleport" photons to a satellite 300 miles away, using "quantum entanglement." This is where a pair of photons are able to simultaneously share the same state, even when separated by distance. Change the state of one particle, and the other changes too.
Erwin Schrödinger proposed a paradox
Erwin Schrödinger was a Nobel prize-winning physicist. Schrödinger proposed a paradox in 1935 to illustrate a point in quantum mechanics about the nature of wave particles.
At the center of quantum theory is the idea of a wave function. A wave-function describes all the possible states sub...
