Quantum Trickery: Testing Einstein's Strangest Theory

There's an interesting article over at the New York Times about the "cat state" ("...the condition of being two diametrically opposed conditions at once, like black and white, up and down, or dead and alive").

I thought that was called marriage. Kidding.

Freaky. There's also information on synchronized atoms, which bad-ass Albert Einstein called "spooky action at a distance."

It's an excellent read. Here's the link:
