THANK YOU. When I first saw this image my reaction was “GTFO!!!” followed by a desire to drop out and become some kind Zen monk or mystic.

- andsoitis 3y agoHehe, you're welcome. My skeptic mind kicked in so I did some research, lest I got entangled in a trap of mysticism. You can see other images besides this one in the paper (which is linked to at the very bottom of the article): https://www.nature.com/articles/s41566-023-01272-3 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41566-023-01272-3
- teawrecks 3y agohah, I knew the moment I saw the image that someone was going to poorly crop it, subtitle it, and spread it on social media claiming that entangled particles secretly looked like a yin yang this whole time.
- elcritch 3y agoPart of me wants to ignore that it's a constructed image and go on imagining entangled particles forming yin / yang images. Perhaps I can't critique the media too much for implying the same. Though the actual research seems interesting.
