This video is one part of a whole package on Quantum Entanglement we published last week. John Matson, George Musser, Mary Karmelek and Eric Olson made the movie, having fun at the Scientific American offices. They published a blog post to explain the movie – George and John s Excellent Adventures in Quantum Entanglement. At exactly the same time, we had a Guest Blog post go live – The Joys of Quantum Entanglement by Vlatko Vedral. And also at the exactly same time, we published a book excerpt – How the Hippies Saved Physics: Science, Counterculture, and the Quantum Revival by David Kaiser. The pieces all linked to each other so one could choose: short or long, visual or textual, simple or detailed – something for everyone. Or all of it, as a package, for the true connoisseurs.

It’s Time to Stand Up for Science

If you enjoyed this article, I’d like to ask for your support. Scientific American has served as an advocate for science and industry for 180 years, and right now may be the most critical moment in that two-century history.

I’ve been a Scientific American subscriber since I was 12 years old, and it helped shape the way I look at the world. SciAm always educates and delights me, and inspires a sense of awe for our vast, beautiful universe. I hope it does that for you, too.

If you subscribe to Scientific American, you help ensure that our coverage is centered on meaningful research and discovery; that we have the resources to report on the decisions that threaten labs across the U.S.; and that we support both budding and working scientists at a time when the value of science itself too often goes unrecognized.

In return, you get essential news, captivating podcasts, brilliant infographics, can't-miss newsletters, must-watch videos, challenging games, and the science world's best writing and reporting. You can even gift someone a subscription.

There has never been a more important time for us to stand up and show why science matters. I hope you’ll support us in that mission.

Thank you,

David M. Ewalt, Editor in Chief, Scientific American
