Quantum Entanglement
Quantum entanglement is a fascinating phenomenon in physics on the super-microscopic level. Just when we thought we had a grasp on "reality" via classical mechanics, quantum mechanics tells us that the world is even weirder and more complex than we had initially thought. There are two interesting quantum phenomena that raise interesting philosophical questions, they are quantum entanglement and quantum teleportation.

Quantum Teleportation
I find quantum entanglement particularly interesting as it appears to break our the laws of our current understanding of physics. Watch the video below to learn more about how quantum entanglement works.
According to the video and our understanding of quantum entanglement, it appears that two entangle particles are able to communicate with each other over vast distances. Have they perhaps been "signed"? Their communication implies a faster than the speed of light communication as one particle will immediately flip to the opposite sign of their entangled counterpart the very moment we measure the first particle's position. Perhaps particles at their most elemental form have hidden qualities? Maybe there is a connected world after all?
