Imagine two tiny sparks, born in a flash of light Sharing a secret, impossibly bright We send them on journeys, galaxies apart But they're still connected, a single beating heart One spins to the left, one spins to the right Locked in a dance across the day and the night It's quantum entanglement, a cosmic-sized trick You measure just one, and the other goes 'click!'

Instantly knows what its partner has done A race with no distance, a race that's been won Einstein called it 'spooky action,' a strange design Connected forever, across space and time It's like a pair of magic gloves in a box made for two I ship one to London, the other to you If I open my package and find the left hand You know yours is the right one, all over the land

It's not information, no signal is sent It's a shared state of being, a quantum event It's quantum entanglement, a cosmic-sized trick You measure just one, and the other goes 'click!' Instantly knows what its partner has done A race with no distance, a race that's been won Einstein called it 'spooky action,' a strange design Connected forever, across space and time

It breaks all the rules we thought we understood A local reality, for the common good But the universe is weirder than we could ever dream All woven together by an invisible seam It's quantum entanglement, a cosmic-sized trick You measure just one, and the other goes 'click!' Instantly knows what its partner has done A race with no distance, a race that's been won

Einstein called it 'spooky action,' a strange design Connected forever, across space and time
