Watching Equinox on Channel 4 in the 90's gave me a good rounding in QM.
I can get my head around double slit and entanglement.
Not sure why you can't use entanglement to send information faster than the speed of light though.
The speed of light is just the speed of light in a vacuum.
I've always assumed whatever connects the entangled particles isn't in classical 4 dimensional space anyhow.

"classical 4 dimensional space"?
I assume you mean space-time. And QM uses the same space as classical mechanics. So far it has yet to be shown to be quantised.

Equinox was great back in the day. It was that sort of thing that inspired me to study physics in the first place. And you didn't even need a Brian Cox in it to make it moisteningly attractive.

I love this stuff but it does my nut in
Probably because we will never have the answer and doing so will do our nuts in. What we all see around us and experience came from nothing or something. But something never started, it was always there no creation date. Your ancestry tree may get messed up by that.
