The Biggest Ideas in the Universe is a series of videos where I talk informally about some of the fundamental concepts that help us understand our natural world. Exceedingly casual, not overly polished, and meant for absolutely everybody.
This is the Q&A video associated with Idea #8, "Entanglement." Using spins as a model system, I try to explain why entanglement is much more subtle than classical correlations (as in gloves or socks). And I talk a bit more about Many Worlds and the origin of probability.
