Hey, I haven't got my head around quantum entanglement of widely spaced particles yet...
Masterpiece:
I don't think anyone has yet, Paul.

The concept isn't very hard to understand. The analogy of traffic flow is a good one. If you cause the cars on the back to slow down, and the cars on the front to speed up, something could cross the road through the gap safely. If you ask the drivers if they hit anything on the way, they will say no. If the traffic flow was constant, you would conclude that nothing had crossed the road at any point, which is incorrect: only nobody noticed it crossing the road.
pwhodges:
Yeah, this one is easy by comparison...

Physics is like that. That's probably behind why in my second term I changed my university course from Physics to Engineering Science (not that I didn't have to study quantum properties of materials for that as well).
