Quantum Entanglement & Bollywood 📽️
How Bollywood explains QE better than the Noble Prize Committee
Durga gives birth to twins Kishan and Amit. Amit gets stolen and is sold to a bootlegger. Durga brings up her son, Kishan who becomes a dedicated police officer. Far away from them, Amit becomes a petty criminal and alcoholic.
They meet after years to beat up the bad guys.
🍿This is in short is Quantum Entanglement (QE) — served Bollywood ishtyle for you !
Quantum Entanglement is a fascinating phenomenon in Quantum Physics where two or more particles become interconnected in such a way that the state of one particle instantly influences the state of the other(s), regardless of the distance between them.
This means that the properties of one particle, like its position, momentum, spin, or polarization, become correlated with the properties of another particle, even if they are light-years apart.
So, if you have two entangled particles and you measure one to be spinning up, instantly the other one, no matter how far away, is guaranteed to be spinning down.
It’s like they’re sharing a secret connection that lets them always be opposite — just like Amit and Kishan.
Einstein called this “spooky action at a distance” because it seems like magic, but it’s a real phenomenon in quantum physics where particles are mysteriously linked.
The Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for the discovery of Quantum Entanglement in 2022. Alain Aspect, John Clauser, and Anton Zeilinger were honoured for their ground-breaking experiments that demonstrated the reality of Quantum Entanglement and its implications for our understanding of the fundamental nature of reality.
Here are 5 everyday examples to help understand the mystery of quantum entanglement:
- Twin Telepathy: Imagine two twins, Alice and Bob, who are deeply connected. If Alice suddenly feels happy, Bob may also feel happy without any direct communication.
#In quantum entanglement, particles can be connected in a similar way, so when you measure one, the other reacts instantly.
2. Magic Coins: Suppose you have a pair of magic coins. Whenever you flip one and it lands on heads, the other coin always lands on tails, and vice versa. Even if you separate the coins by a great distance, they still influence each other’s outcome.
#This is like how entangled particles’ properties are connected, no matter how far apart they are.
3. Secret Messages: Imagine you and your friend have a secret code. You each have a piece of paper with random numbers, and when you add them together, you get a meaningful message. Even if you’re far apart, you can create a message that only both of you understand.
#In quantum entanglement, particles can hold hidden information that’s revealed when they’re measured together.
4. Mirror Reflection: Consider a mirror that reflects everything you do instantly, no matter how far away it is. If you raise your right hand, the mirror image also raises its right hand at the same time.
#In quantum entanglement, changes to one particle are reflected in its entangled partner simultaneously.
5. Dance Partners: Imagine two dancers performing a choreographed routine. They are so perfectly synchronized that when one spins, the other spins in the opposite direction at the exact same time.
#Similarly, entangled particles behave in perfect unison, with any change in one particle immediately affecting the other, no matter the distance between them.
This is the strange and fascinating nature of quantum entanglement, where particles can be connected in ways that defy our everyday understanding of physics.
So you might claim that Interstellar is Scifi at it’s best — my humble submission is that Bollywood blockbusters like Suhag (1979), Ram Aur Shyam(1967), Kishan Kanhaiya(1990) have been serving SciFi with a social drama tadka for decades now 😺.
Hope you found this of value🍁🍁
Thanks Pallavi for the Bollywood angle💃🏻🕺🏻
