My question is in the title please do your best to put this into terms that a novice could understand. I sure am no expert :)
Thanx
Thanx
As I understand it, entanglement means that when you measure a certain property of one object, and also measure that property (or a related property) of the entangled object, they have a well defined statistical relationship which cannot be explained by anything that could have existed before the measurements were taken. That "the relationship cannot be explained by anything that could have existed before the measurements were taken" is the essence of Bell's theorem, and this was demonstrated by Clauser and Aspect.jackle said:This may be horribly over simple, but I always think of entanglement as the situation where measuring one particle has an immediate influence on another.
In my understanding, a particle is also entangled with itself in the sense that if you measure it's momentum you have an effect on it's position.

Hi, here are some sites on string theory : i especially recommend the first one.Ubern0va said:Sorry to have upset you in any way Marlon, its just that it seems to me like you guys were getting more and more into insignificant aspects rather than outlining the theory itself. To be honest, debates amongst yourselves don't help me one bit. Sorry to be so blunt about it but that's the way it is. Thanks for the link however. :-)
Do you have any more on the topic of string theory. I tried www.superstringtheory.com however their basic section is a bit too basic and the advanced section is too advanced. What I'm looking for is a solid explanation with theoretical specifics rather than mathematical. Maybe I'm asking for too much, I really don't know, but no place I've found has been able to deliver this.
Thx in advance for any further assistance.

Entanglement is a phenomenon in quantum mechanics where two or more particles become connected in such a way that the state of one particle affects the state of the other, regardless of the distance between them.
Entanglement occurs when two or more particles interact with each other in such a way that their quantum states become correlated. This can happen through various processes such as collisions, interactions with photons, or through the use of entangling gates in quantum computing.
Entanglement is significant because it allows for the transfer of information and properties between particles without any physical connection. This has potential applications in quantum computing, cryptography, and teleportation.
Yes, entanglement can exist between any number of particles. In fact, scientists have successfully entangled groups of up to 14 particles.
Entanglement violates the laws of classical physics because it allows for non-local correlations between particles. In classical physics, the state of one particle cannot be affected by the state of another particle without some form of physical connection between them.
