Einstein Called It “Spooky.” CERN Just Found It at Extreme Energies at the Large Hadron Collider

Particles left behind by decaying Z bosons reveal strong evidence of quantum entanglement at CERN's Large Hadron Collider. Z bosons, heavy elementary particles that decay almost as soon as they form, leave behind clues to a connection that can outlast physical separation.
