This is bloviating the history , therory and then basically just saying “ trust us ,the experment showed it worked.” ?

Curse the luck, my subscription just ran out.
The basic idea here is that fundamental sub-atomic particles which once were intimately linked, then later separated over arbitrarily long distance, in theory, to opposite ends of the universe, somehow remain connected, instantaneously.
Can quantum entanglement someday allow faster-than-light transmission of data?
In Christian circles is this not called Pre-Determination?
The “sorry, Einstein” is amateurish and misleading. Einstein’’s work led to quantum theory.
Physicists often prefer to ignore the implications of quantum mechanics. “Just shut up and calculate”. Those implications push the discussion more into the realm of philosophy instead of hard science, incorporating elements such as consciousness and free will. Quantum mechanics turned Newton’s deterministic universe on its head and uncovered a universe that behaves in very strange ways. When I am not “looking” - nothing but waves of potentiality. When I “look” - waves of potentiality crystalized into particles of observed reality that did not exist until I “looked”.
Is there really a discrete reality “out there” that exists independent of my observing it. Quantum theory would tend to imply that the answer is not “yes”. Einstein was quoted as saying, “I’d like to believe the moon is there, regardless of whether I’m looking at it or not.”
The universe starts looking less like a real thing, and more like a grand idea. Welcome to the matrix.
Pop the QWIF.
I’m real, but I’m pretty sure the rest of you are just here for my entertainment, so start dancing.
See Bell’s Theorem. David Bohm, Wholeness and the Implicate Order. The universe uses higher dimensions for system maintenance for lower dimension conservation of charge, spin, etc.
