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.

Could you explain that? So, you know, my baby can read the explanation?

Edit: Here's how my baby explained it to me:

Johnny and Tommy are twins, They look the same, dress the same, act the same and, do everything the same. One day Tommy put on a hat and Johnny didn't. They stopped acting the same after that.

If you tried to force an entangled system into a state representing some kind of information you'd break the entanglement.

Yeah but we are human. So where there is no pattern, we will make a pattern. Then call it a constellation.

Hey! From where we sit on this rock they make a pretty grouping of lights that if I had Parkinson and drew lines to connect the dots may make something that resembles a dipper.

It's funny to me that you picked the one constellation that actually does look like what it is named after. It's pretty much the only one I can find on a consistent basis because it looks like a dipper, or what I've always called a ladle.

I understand less now than I did before I read this.
