Quantum Entanglement

Quantum entanglement is one of the strangest things scientists have ever discovered, but what the hell is it really? In this episode, we break it down in plain English, talk about quantum computers, why they have to be colder than almost anything in the universe, and why scientists still can't get quantum mechanics and gravity to play nice together. Then I throw out my own Quantum Monolith Theory. What if those mysterious black monoliths aren't alien artifacts at all? What if they're advanced quantum technology from humanity's distant future? No, we're not saying it's real. We're just asking a really fun "what if?" Let us know what you think in the comments. Is my theory complete bullshit... or are we onto something?

Quantum entanglement is one of the strangest things scientists have ever discovered, but what the hell is it really?

In this episode, we break it down in plain English, talk about quantum computers, why they have to be colder than almost anything in the universe, and why scientists still can't get quantum mechanics and gravity to play nice together.

Then I throw out my own Quantum Monolith Theory. What if those mysterious black monoliths aren't alien artifacts at all? What if they're advanced quantum technology from humanity's distant future?

No, we're not saying it's real. We're just asking a really fun "what if?"

Let us know what you think in the comments. Is my theory complete bullshit... or are we onto something?
