“An elegant demonstration of a fundamental property of nature.“

Paul-Antoine Moreau said this about the first ever photo of quantum entanglement, a phenomenon so strange that Einstein called it “spooky action at a distance.”

Quantum entanglement occurs when two particles become inextricably linked, and even when separated— whatever happens to one immediately affects the other, regardless of the distance between them (hence Einstein’s description).

But I feel like these same words could be said about a waterfall, an elegant demonstration of the fundamental and bizarre properties of water, which we still don’t fully understand.

If you haven’t already seen it, the photo by Moreau and his team shows entanglement between two photons - two light particles. They’re interacting and - for a brief moment - sharing physical states.
