As the world continues with this weird time, we’re getting even weirder at StarTalk. Neil deGrasse Tyson, comic co-host Chuck Nice, and astrophysicist Janna Levin, PhD, are together to explore the wild, wacky world of quantum entanglement. To wrap your head around what “happens” during quantum entanglement, Janna gives us an example of splitting a wishbone at the family dinner table. Explore why, even though we can’t communicate faster than the speed of light, knowledge can work faster than the speed of light. Find out if we can use quantum entanglement to send encrypted messages. Discover more about the development of quantum computing and its delicate use of quantum entanglement. Janna tells us how we “see” quantum entanglement despite the fact that the act of looking changes the behavior. Lastly, investigate the difference between quantum entanglement and quantum tunneling. All that, plus, Chuck wants to know the answer to a simple question – “Is anything f***king real?!” ========
