Can you explain quantum entanglement simply?

Quantum entanglement is like a mysterious connection between two particles. Imagine you and a friend each have a magical coin. No matter how far apart you are, when you flip your coin and get heads, your friend’s coin instantly lands on tails—even if they’re light-years away.

This isn’t just a trick—it’s real physics. When two particles become entangled, measuring one instantly determines the state of the other, no matter the distance.

Einstein called this “spooky action at a distance,” and it challenges our ideas of space and time. Does information travel faster than light? Or are these particles always connected in a hidden way?

Entanglement is a quantum mystery that suggests our reality is deeply interconnected—perhaps in ways we don’t yet understand.
