QUANTUM ENTANGLEMENT

Quantum entanglement is the phenomenon by which two particles in totally different parts of the universe can be linked to one another, mirroring the behaviour and state of their partner. Quantum entanglement is just a bit of a nuisance for classical physics, because it breaks some fundamental laws that we previously thought unbreakable. For particles to be connected across such vast distances, they must be sending signals to one another that travel faster than the speed of light; a feat previously considered impossible. What's more, objects are only supposed to be affected by their surroundings; the notion of a particle being affected by something happening on the other side of the universe is just bizzare. Nonetheless, studies suggest that quantum entanglement does indeed exist. And even though we don't understand it, we could still potentially use it. Because of its spooky characteristics, entanglement could eventually become the bedrock of next-generation computing and communications.
