    He’d been thinking even more than he usually did about quantum nonlocality, the way once two electrons were entangled, you could separate them, shoot them hundreds of thousands of miles in opposite directions, and they’d stay linked: if you set one of them spinning, the other would instantly spin at the same speed in the opposite direction. They weren’t talking to each other; communication was not whizzing back and forth faster than the speed of light. The two particles just existed outside regular reality, outside of spacetime, in a state where distance was meaningless, where distance wasn’t. - Marisa de los Santos, Belong to Me
