Thought for sure they'd say what color socks the guy on the other side of the planet wasn't wearing.

“The Force” in other words?

In solids, everything is entangled, so don’t be impressed by all the talk ... DO be impressed by aluminum foil! It beggars the scientific imagination.

There is a ton of problems with the usefulness, in any practical sense, of quantum states. When we are dealing, as all human-matter relationships are, at levels where humans can engineer how matter is determined and handled, we are not dealing with matter in any quantum state; not that any human tools of empirical evidence can use.

When quantum physics is so mature it is a mere part of everyday physics and humans can make everyday use of “quantum physics” then people should start taking a real interest. Until then it remains a curiosity.

How does one really prove what is happening when not measured?

Well then. In some dimension or state, the two photons are not "far apart." They might even be the same thing.

Let’s say the “photon socks” are red and blue.

If you change the red one to where the blue one is, its red partner immediately changes correspondingly — simultaneously, without apparent communication, and at distances so great that relatively, the signals would need to travel faster than the speed of light, if indeed there were signals at all. And according to all conventional scientific understanding, this is not possible. Yet it occurs, repeatedly.

This is entanglement. It points to some unitary consciousness, some unitary force, behind the entanglements.

That force, that consciousness, can be said to be God.
