  Highly recommend pbs channels for physics, especially if you’re a first gen college student. They provide excellent gists of physics, often providing scaffolding for potential careers.

  Quantum entanglement is true, my brain becomes entangled when thinking about the quantum.

  Spent all day working on my thesis now im lying in bed watching a video about quantum physics to relax 😂 as if my brain hasn't been hammered to pieces already 😂

  Fascinating. I’m not a physicist or mathematician, but in watching this I have a question I’m sure someone with those backgrounds can help me understand. Couldn’t the properties of the photons be changed when initially influenced by the source? Then, when compared at a distance, the properties would be the same? Part of this could be how hard it is for me, without the background, to understand the concept that these particles don’t exist until we measure or detect them. I wish the video explained this better. In my head, the instant the source impacts the photons, the properties of all of the photons would change, seemingly making perfect sense that their properties would be correlated when detected at a distance.

  Einstein once said, “I don’t want to BE right.  I just want to know if I AM right.”

  I don't miss a single pbs documentary.  Whether it's American experience or secrets of the dead or Nova or front line.  All of pbs is incredible. And people that don't know that, I feel sorry for them.  PB S has been a part of my life since I was a little kid. And a truly is the best television on television

  All that Einstein said was that Quantum mechanics is incomplete, he did not say it's untrue. I agree with him.

  Incredible program, NOVA is the best, and in simple language that people with no inclination to science can understand. I was the only person watching the programs, now all of them talk about it the next day. I am also in love with the music theme.

  The bold thinking it took to even imagine the final experiment, using quasars as filter switches...and the technological ability to then execute it. I am beyond impressed.

  I’m glad you guys made this video so that the layman could understand it. Lol. Otherwise I would have never enjoyed it this much. That was a great explanation of Quantum Entanglements.

  Just because you're not aware of something doesn't mean that it doesn't exist, we are just beginning to see all that we didn't know.

  Thanks to Gordon & Betty Moore and John Templeton Foundations for their major financial support for NOVA. I can't wait to show this to my kids. Absolutely fascinating watch.
