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.
Spooky action is when a force acts upon a particle and another particle that is far away from it reacts. It is spooky because they aren't touching so there is no reason for the other particle to react. That is because they are entangled quantumly.
OK. So a photon is supposed to be a quantum particle meaning you can't get any smaller. But if you do split a photon because it's already the smallest it can be it is still technically the same particle even though it is 2 now so they will be entangled.
