Quantum Entanglement Survives, Even Across an Event Horizon

StartsWithABang writes: One of the more puzzling phenomena in our quantum Universe is that of entanglement: two particles remain in mutually indeterminate states until one is measured, and then the other — even if it's across the Universe — is immediately known. In theory, this should be true even if one member of the pair falls into a black hole, although it's impossible to measure that. However, we can (and have) measured that for the laboratory analogue of black holes, known as "dumb holes," and the entanglement survives!

    Ouch, A downvote! Let's be fair though. Carson and Trump are clearly quantumly entangled because once a voter realizes one of them is full of sh*t they immediately know the other one is as well. It's science!

    Bob finally has an excuse to throw that cheating bitch, Alice into a black hole: science!
