Entangled (Red Dwarf)
"Entangled" is the fourth episode of science fiction sitcom ''Red Dwarf'' Red Dwarf (series X), series X, originally broadcast on the British television channel Dave (channel), Dave on 25 October 2012. Lister loses Rimmer in a game of poker to a group of "biologically engineered garbage gobblers", and in return gets an unwanted gift: a groinal exploder programmed to detonate in 24 hours unless Lister pays his debts. Meanwhile, Kryten and Cat become quantum entangled and do everything in perfect unison. Plot While chasing a space weevil, Cat (Red Dwarf), Cat encounters Kryten conducting an experiment with the quantum rod from Trojan (Red Dwarf), Trojan. It unexpectedly causes the two of them to become 'Quantum entanglement, quantum entangled', meaning they are more prone to coincidences such as saying the same thing at exactly the same time, especially when emotionally stressed. Meanwhile, Arnold Rimmer, Rimmer comes up with a complicated new accident reporting system, involving fi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Quantum Entanglement
Quantum entanglement is the phenomenon that occurs when a group of particles are generated, interact, or share spatial proximity in a way such that the quantum state of each particle of the group cannot be described independently of the state of the others, including when the particles are separated by a large distance. The topic of quantum entanglement is at the heart of the disparity between classical and quantum physics: entanglement is a primary feature of quantum mechanics not present in classical mechanics. Measurements of physical properties such as position, momentum, spin, and polarization performed on entangled particles can, in some cases, be found to be perfectly correlated. For example, if a pair of entangled particles is generated such that their total spin is known to be zero, and one particle is found to have clockwise spin on a first axis, then the spin of the other particle, measured on the same axis, is found to be anticlockwise. However, this behavior gives ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
