@seleniumed: Two particles can become so linked that measuring one instantly tells you something about the other, no matter how far apart they are. Einstein called this spooky action at a distance. Physicists call it quantum entanglement. Here is roughly how it works. When two particles interact in the right way, their properties become correlated at a fundamental level. Neither particle has a definite property, like spin, until you actually measure it. Before that, both particles exist in a mix of every possible outcome at once. The instant you measure one and get a result, the other particle's property becomes fixed too, instantly, even if it is a thousand kilometers away. This does not mean information travels faster than light. You cannot use entanglement to send a message, because your results look completely random until you compare notes with whoever has the other particle, and comparing notes still needs ordinary communication that cannot beat the speed of light. What entanglement really reveals is that properties are not fixed in advance waiting to be found. They only become real the moment they are measured. This is not just a curiosity. It is the foundation behind quantum computers, which use entangled particles to solve certain problems far faster than normal computers, and quantum cryptography, which uses entanglement to detect if anyone tried to eavesdrop on a message.
