Yes but I think what you both are missing is that this example is meant for laypeople. Nobody has ever claimed that this is literally entanglement and I can say from first-hand experience that it's useful to bridge the gap to actually understanding entanglement.
- rottc0dd 5y agoWell, I am layman regarding in general, particularly physics. I get what you are saying, but the analogy lose the point of what makes entanglement nonsensical and spooky for anybody, layman or not. As I said before, if they had an analogy of balls which does not have a color and when you see one ball and it gets color and the other ball which was in contact with it become colored magically too, it would be fine. I am ranting and I am sure educators can come up with better analogy. The point is, spookiness is important for understanding the significance of why this is big deal at all and some people think that should not get lost in translation.
