0:00.0	Chuck, love me some quantum physics, and apparently so does everybody else, especially when
0:05.0	we're talking about quantum entanglement.
0:07.0	I'll say some of the best questions we received on quantum entanglement, yeah.
0:11.0	One of the world's experts, we went down under to Canberra.
0:15.0	Australia, Sean Hodgman, coming right up, a physicist on top of the situation.
0:29.0	Welcome to StarTalk, your place in the universe where science and pop culture collide.
0:32.8	StarTalk begins right now.
0:40.8	This is StarTalk, Cosmic Queries Edition.
0:43.1	What is the subject?
0:46.1	Quantum entanglement.
0:48.7	Chuck, are you ready for this?
0:49.4	Never.
0:53.9	I mean, I'm just going to be honest.
0:56.6	Haven't you and I been quantum entangled for a while?
0:58.1	Yes, without a doubt.
1:01.7	Anytime you feel pain, Neil, I feel it immediately.
1:04.5	That's how that works, you see?
1:06.0	You see?
1:10.2	Now, I have like a storybook understanding of quantum entanglement.
1:15.2	So to really get to the bottom of this, we combed the world to find somebody who actually works in the field.
1:17.7	And we found a physicist at the Australian National University, A&U.
1:22.6	Oh, look at that.
