Entanglement is like a big ol' ball of twine. You can't see it, but you know it's there. And if you try to cut it, it just gets all tangled up even more. It's like that one aunt at the family reunion.
Q: What's the deal with the cat in the hat?
A: That's not a cat, that's a manifestation of the fabric of spacetime.
Q: Will I ever be able to see it?
A: Nope. It's like trying to see the wind. Or your great aunt Mildred's sense of humor.
Q: Can I just cut it with scissors?
A: Ha! Good luck with that. Just don't say I didn't warn you.
