Entanglement

Entanglement can affect physical properties of a particle on
ther side of universe by prodding its entanglement twin –

exists everywhere, all the time.

After interaction, impossible to tease apart the two particles’

characteristics.

Vacuum is filled with pairs of entangled particles.
Our bodies are a mass of entanglements between electrons

in atoms that make up our body.

There can be three-way entanglements.
Moments of time can become entangled, too.
Entanglements exist all around us and inside us all the time.
