a question
of quantum entanglement.
In simple terms: Quantum entanglement is a special connection between particles that makes them act like they are one unit, even when they are far apart. Measuring one particle instantly reveals the state of the other, but there’s no actual information transfer happening between them. They are linked in such a way that they share the same fate, no matter how far apart they are.
