Ever delve into entanglement?

As in quantum entanglement and action-at-a-distance?

I know a bit about it, but I'm no expert. I've had several semesters worth of grad. level quantum physics; I spent a little time studying Bell's inequality & its implications, but it was a few years ago; I've since moved on to other areas of work - and as they say with all science knowledge, "use it or lose it". Quantum entanglement is not an easy subject to get your mind around.

It is my opinion that the theological (and even physical) implications of entanglement, while important, are somewhat exaggerated, however. I do know that the biggest misconception about it is that quantum entanglement somehow allows one to sidestep the effects of relavity (and the speed limit of light), when in fact, it really does not.

Yep, pretty fascinating stuff and wasn't it Einstein who predicted this "spooky" action-at-a-distance? It is unreal how this man using only his mind and a chalk board conceived of these properties of nature that we now only have the technology to prove or telescopes to view as in black holes.
