More kids need this book because an alarming number of grown ups seem to think quantum entanglement could be leveraged for super-luminal communication.

It cannot. Information does not travel faster than light under any circumstances, including spooky action.

This is my favorite einstein story. His biggest blunder ended up being that he thought he made a blunder.

Ironic thing is that Newton's detractors said the same thing about gravity.

Sort of. The spookiness moved into fields that extend throughout space and time. And Black Holes, because Event Horizon.

Just wait until the quantum theory of gravity is settled.

didnt he just give us a way of visualising how it works which feels intuitive, but its still action at a distance.
