Nova: Einstein's Quantum Riddle

Starring: Eric Meyers

Einstein called it "spooky action at a distance," but today quantum entanglement is poised to revolutionize technology. Physicists have become gradually convinced that quantum entanglement is real, but a few doubts remain. NOVA follows a ground-breaking experiment in the Canary Islands to use quasars at opposite ends of the universe to once and for all settle remaining questions.

A quick review of entanglement.

NOVA Season 46 Episode 2 aired Jan 9, 2019 “We step into a microworld of atoms and particles that challenges our intuitive Understanding of the world we see around us. For people starting from ground zero, this gives a nice flashy presentation of quantum entanglement (Spooky action at a distance.) It stands up to the Nova quality. We go step by step on showing how Albert Einstein had a problem with things going faster than the speed of light. In his time, before it was proven, it was just a thought experiment, and so he thought. I think of the Garfield comic strip where the man is looking at the handheld laser and the red dot is missing. On the wall is an award plaque for Garfield, and the red dot is on it. There are quite a few UpToDate programs on this subject. However, this is a good place to start. This at least keeps people from falling into the Gary Zukav trap of new physics.
