Science ABCQuantum entanglement is a physical resource, like energy, that is possible between quantum systems. When a coin spins on a flat surface, it’s in a state of superposition between its two faces—head and tails. Similarly, electrons in their natural state exist as a superposition of both up and down spin. Only when measured do they give a definite value of up or down, which, in technical terms, is referred to as the “collapse of the wavefunction”.
In quantum mechanics, wave function collapse occurs when a wave function, which was initially in a superposition of a few states, reduces to a single state due to interaction with the external world.
When a pair of electrons are generated, interact, or share spatial proximity, their spin states can get entangled, which is what scientists call the quantum entanglement of electrons.
Quantum entanglement was first recognized by Einstein, Podolsky, Roson and Schrodinger. In this video, we explain quantum entanglement in simple terms so that it becomes accessible to laymen and children who are interested to know about quantum entanglement

02/12/2025 - 8:18 PMNow that you have seen the video, let's have a poll. There has been so much debate about free and fair elections across the world. Do you think Quantum Entanglement can help in making elections a 100% fair and transparent process? (put your choice as a reply to this comment. If you have additional points, do make sure to put them in the comment)
A – Yes
B – Yes, but the relevant tech is impossible to make
C – No
@Vojem
02/12/2025 - 8:18 PM11th Feb 2025 – Oxford University researchers have achieved quantum teleportation using quantum entangled particles.
@Dehydrated_H20
02/12/2025 - 8:18 PMThe hot dog and hamburger thing is stupid af and is not quantum entanglement. It's not anything. Lol. You know wtf you ordered, it's not magic. Ffs lol
@kodeshministry4612
02/12/2025 - 8:18 PMQuantum teleportation suggests that telepathy is possible due to its nature as information transmission, ubrellated to physical matter. Interesting.
@ArmyOfOne888
02/12/2025 - 8:18 PMelection polls will always be controlled by the ones in CONTROL OF the polls, they can simply SAY they're using Quantum but simply NOT USING QUANTUM , while manipulating the election as usual. rhetorical.
@_-JonDoe-_
02/12/2025 - 8:18 PMI have spoken to Verus… the change is coming.
@biffedya
02/12/2025 - 8:18 PMi think this answers the question which came first LSD or quantum entanglement theory
@armofknight9994
02/12/2025 - 8:18 PMThe first thought that came in my mind was what if the electron(s) rotate 180 degrees and then rotate 360 degrees if that make sense; and then 360 degree rotation, up.
@wyrfryr7771
02/12/2025 - 8:18 PMwatching this to understand twin peaks season 3 lol
@Itspersonal999
02/12/2025 - 8:18 PMThey have to be connected in a 4th dimension that we haven’t figured out how to unfold yet
@frikkiejacobs9811
02/12/2025 - 8:18 PMSo if you use an electronic clock on earth, the aliens on Mars travels back in time because their entangled clock spins back. And that is why the Earth is flat.
@davidholt8074
02/12/2025 - 8:18 PMAbsolutely incredible video thankyou
@Tezpi
02/12/2025 - 8:18 PMGod lives
@NieLar642
02/12/2025 - 8:18 PMthink that "quantum computers" will totally change the future of human kind along with AI
@NieLar642
02/12/2025 - 8:18 PMNICE….even an old uneducated guy like me…kinda get it THX 👍👍😊😊
@kuljam6076
02/12/2025 - 8:18 PMI think that we're connected with quantum our brain, have the power to do entanglement with any machine thinks if u r and a casino and time that's not specific in same time's I can control that machine to head a jackpot… I approved
@Atleastihavecoffee-147
02/12/2025 - 8:18 PMGreat explanation
@bri-tv8yd
02/12/2025 - 8:18 PMAwesome sauce
@darrylschultz9395
02/12/2025 - 8:18 PMHere's Quantum entanglement explained in really simple words:-Quan the Dog meets Tam the Cat. Suddenly Quan goes "Woof woof, growl!!", and Tam goes "Yikes, git dat big hairy mf outta here!". Next thing they're just a big ball of scratching biting and clawing fur and teeth-and it's mission accomplished for the Quan/Tam entanglement! Eminent scientists look on in astonishment as George W. Bush then comes out beaming from ear to ear to take a bow!😂
@KatinaChoovanski
02/12/2025 - 8:18 PMSuperCorp brought me here.
@TalhaAbdullah-h1n
02/12/2025 - 8:18 PMwho laughed at 0:48?
@AshleyFernandez-u2i
02/12/2025 - 8:18 PMThe fact Deadpool came out means everything 😊
@sebathadah1559
02/12/2025 - 8:18 PMNot to sound totally ignorant but the entire thing just sounds like: we dont know until we find out." Seems to totally ignore objectivity.
@isma2605
02/12/2025 - 8:18 PMThanks!
@MattMarain
02/12/2025 - 8:18 PMSo if an entangled photon gets sucked into a black hole would the other photon be destroyed
@nmssis
02/12/2025 - 8:18 PMSo what is the mechanics that "entangles" the particles?
@Anon-bc3zg
02/12/2025 - 8:18 PMIm still confused
@irishmaemagdoza
02/12/2025 - 8:18 PMI feel stupid
@Swampzoid
02/12/2025 - 8:18 PMWhy am I curious about something that I cannot grasp just a little even when it is explained very simply ? I feel like a cave man gawking at the stars.
@-WhizzBang-
02/12/2025 - 8:18 PMNot a single video so far that can explain Quantum Physics in a way that is understandable!
@ramyashravan1931
02/12/2025 - 8:18 PMWhat is Deadpool doing here ?
@OnlyTruthLove
02/12/2025 - 8:18 PMhas anyone ever measured the entanglement? Or is it strictly theory? How do we know it works at long distances?
@OnlyTruthLove
02/12/2025 - 8:18 PMHow do you entangle two electrons? Or how do you determine that two electrons are entangled?
@OnlyTruthLove
02/12/2025 - 8:18 PMThe cat is not dead and alive at the same time. Its the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Strange seeing it come from a "smart" person. You not knowing a result DOES NOT MEAN there is no result. How idiotic.
