Quantum Tango

Or something like that. I sometimes have no idea how I stumble across some of the stuff I find, but trying reading about Quantum Entanglement while eating:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_entanglement

I simply didn't have enough brain capacity for both tasks, so I had to finish my sarny then try again.

I know this is quite a random thing, but I like it because the scientists are telling us that everything is connected and is in fact one thing, which I've believed all my life

In practical terms, this fascinates me because imagine if they exploit this trick for space exploration. It occurs to me that if you 'quantum entangle' two atoms when building a probe, and then put one of those atoms in the probe and keep one here, then if you can manipulate one (the emerging technology of 'spintronics') then you should see a corresponding change of state in the other, instantly, so no more lag while the signal travels over vast distance, and no more worrying about transmitter power, receiver sensitivity, interference etc.
