What is real What is the universe made of How does it work Physics has always been an attempt to understand these questions. In the twentieth century, physics has developed two very powerful ways of looking at the world. The first was General Relativity, developed by Albert Einstein, which describes how gravity works. This theory is very successful at describing the actions of stars, ...

Entangled Choices The essence of quantum entanglement (as exhibited in things like EPR experiments and tests of Bell's inequalities) is that the joint probabilities for combinations of spacelike-separated events depend on the choices of particular measurement operations that are applied to entangled systems at those separate events, and moreover that this dependence is non-linear. It is the ...
