This is a very nice experiment that demonstrates very fundamental physics. However, the measurements conducted by the author do not show entanglement but merely that photons are emitted simultaneously in opposite directions with perpendicular polarization. To get closer to showing entanglement, you would really have to show a violation of the Bell inequalities, which are mentioned briefly at the end of part two.

For instance: a could chamber can detect a cosmic ray, but proving that it was a cosmic ray requires much more. That you can detect such things so simply, that you can manifest them in your home, is worth the effort.
