Hence the expression, “way to go, Einstein”

Quantum entanglement is one of the most remarkable implications of quantum mechanics. By measuring the characteristics of one of two entangled particles, we can deduce the measurement of the other. The state of one particle is dependent on the other's even if they are separated and not communicating with each other. This is contrary to our habitual notions of cause and effect. Albert Einstein regarded quantum entanglement as an indication that quantum mechanics offered only an incomplete description and needed to be complemented. He claimed that there were unknown qualities - hidden variables - that give an explanation other than the uncertain and random one provided by quantum mechanics. Later experiments have shown that he was wrong, and that quantum mechanics is correct.

text from a 2007 NY Times article: Whether their series last eight seasons or eight episodes, these young comedians are certain the Internet will continue to play a crucial role in bringing new talent to television. “Until we all develop psychic powers and are finding our comedy on the astral plane, it’s where networks are going to go to find their shows,” said Zach Cregger, a member of the Whitest Kids U’Know. “If networks even continue to exist.”
