Quantum Mechanics Explained presents to you: Entanglement, the most mind-bending phenomenon since the concept of 'why is the toilet paper roll always on the left?'
Entanglement: where two particles are connected in a way that defies the laws of classical physics, much like how my aunt defied the laws of personal space by always standing too close to me at family gatherings
But seriously, entanglement is a real thing, and it's pretty cool. It's like a game of quantum telephone, where two particles are connected in such a way that what happens to one particle instantly affects the other, even if they're on opposite sides of the universe

Entanglement is like when you and your sibling are always connected, even when you're on opposite sides of the room, arguing over who ate the last cookie
But, in a more serious note, entanglement has real-life applications in quantum computing, cryptography, and those kinds of things. Like, have you ever wondered what kind of entanglement-based technology would be in a futuristic version of your smartphone?
