As postulated by Max Planck (1858–1947), the quantum theory “was the most fundamental innovation in physical science in the first half of the twentieth century, because of the establishment of a new system of physics and the construction of a philosophical worldview that appeared to deny the possibility of a complete understanding of reality” (“Quantum mechanics”,2005). In fact, the quantum theory is a probabilistic act; the act of finding a small particle in the whole universe. In other words, the theory deals with a particle as if it is present anywhere in the universe, but once it is observed, it is found. This theory was attacked as false in 1935 by Albert Einstein (1879-1955) as he said that “the theory offers a lot, but it hardly brings us any closer to the God’s secret. At least, he doesn't throw dice” (Kaku, 2008). At that time, Einstein thought that he finally found something so strange that ends up the quantum theory: Entanglement, first described by Erwin Schrödinger (1887-1961), which he – Einstein- thought it held the key of proving the theory was incomplete. Entanglement is a phenomenon in which two systems, separated over a very large distance, can communicate and exchange information instantly, without any …show more content…

Although he agreed that entanglement exists, but he proposed a very simple explanation regardless of the mysterious quantum laws; he insisted that the entangled particles are more like a pair of gloves: if two gloves –left and right- were packed individually and separated over a very large distance, for example on the earth and the moon, so if someone looks at one of them and sees that it is left, so definitely the other one will be right without even looking at it, thus the person’s decision didn’t affect the gloves, since everything was set from the moment gloves were
