What is Entanglement?

Entanglement is a real thing, but it sounds like something out of a bad sci-fi novel. It's like, particles are connected, but not really. It's all very confusing, but don't worry, we've got this.

So, imagine you have two particles, like, a cat and a hat. The cat is in New York, and the hat is in LA. If you do something to the cat, like, spin it around, the hat will instantly know about it, even if it's on the other side of the country. Spooky, right?

This is because, according to quantum mechanics, particles can be connected in a way that lets them affect each other, no matter how far apart they are. It's all very strange, but also very cool, like a cosmic game of tag.
