§ Shadow puppet analogy for entanglement
I found this answer on quantumcomputing.stackexchange
to be a visceral example of "something like entanglement":
Imagine making shadow puppets. However in this setup, instead of one you have
two screens and two torches pointing 90 degrees apart so
that the image formed by torch 1 is projected onto screen 2 and the image
formed by torch 2 is simultaneously projected onto screen 1.
screen 1 screen 2
/ \
/ \
/ \
mm <- hand
\ /
torch 1 torch 2
Now any movement of your hand changes both images in a correlated way. In a
sense, the images are entangled - if you observe image 1 to have a certain
configuration, then only a small subset of possibilities in the total
configuration space of image 2 are valid, and vice versa.
