There are some experiments that just, they make me angry.

Not angry at the experimenters, the people behind it, not angry at the design, not even

angry at the result.

The result is just the result.

It's just nature.

But it makes me angry at the result. The result is just the result. It's just nature. But it makes me angry at myself. I don't know. It takes a lot. You know how much I love nature and how much I love learning

about how it all works and how much I love sharing about how physics sees the world. It's a beautiful lens. And yeah, you know, like,

that's why I do this show, because I love it. And if you're like me, which you probably are,

because you're listening to this show, then you're not afraid of the weird and the counterintuitive

and the downright perplexing results that we often get in science. That's part of the fun is challenging

our common sense, challenging our prior beliefs, discovering something new and saying,

wow, I didn't realize nature could work that way and then it turns out nature works that way,

and that's kind of fun. There's a lot of joy in that. Sometimes there's anger. Maybe frustration

is the better word. Just come on, universe. Can we get a break every once in a while? And yeah, we're talking about quantum mechanics today, which is always a bit of a headache. Because nothing. And I mean nothing about quantum mechanics makes any sense whatsoever. And every time we encounter our quantum

concept, we just have to take everything we know about how the universe is supposed to work and

chuck it out the window. But once we do that, at least we can develop a parallel intuition,

one that only lives in the quantum realm. Like once we get used to quantum stuff, we realize it's just existing in the

quantum universe and the subatomic part of the universe. We don't have to worry about it here

in the macroscopic universe. We're just like, okay, that's just how subatomic systems work. Okay,

particles can randomly appear in different locations. Okay, we can't exactly predict the outcome of a quantum experiment.

Okay.

Entanglement ties together particles even if they're really far apart.
