From Entangled Particles to Black Holes: The Surprising Connection
Entanglement and Black Holes: What Do These Two Mysteries Have in Common? Entanglement and black holes are two of the most intriguing phenomena in the universe, and recent research has shown that they may be more closely related than previously thought. Entanglement is a quantum mechanical phenomenon where particles can become connected in such a way that their states are intrinsically linked, even when separated by great distances. Black holes, on the other hand, are extremely dense objects in space that exert a gravitational pull so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. Recent studies have suggested that entanglement and black holes may be connected through a phenomenon called "holographic entanglement entropy." This theory proposes that the amount of entanglement between particles in a region of space is proportional to the surface area of the region's boundary. In other words, the more entanglement there is between particles, the more information is stored...
