Quantum entanglement, a perplexing phenomenon of quantum
mechanics that Albert Einstein once referred to as “spooky action at a
distance,” could be even spookier than Einstein perceived.
Physicists at the University of Washington and Stony Brook
University in New York believe the phenomenon might be intrinsically linked with
wormholes, hypothetical features of space-time that in popular science fiction
can provide a much-faster-than-light shortcut from one part of the universe to
another.
