Albert Einstein Quotes
Spooky action at a distance.
"Entanglement" is where, under certain conditions, one particle's movement can control the movement of another particle far from it with no apparent physical connection between them.
Albert Einstein, 1879-1955, Nobel laureate in Physics, Description of the Quantum Mechanics phenomenon of "entanglement", Quoted on The History Channel, The Universe: Black Holes, August 9, 2015

This is a classic quotation illustrating that the scientist is rarely sure of anything and is not ever able to make recommendations with the surety of the politician or the cleric.
Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical physicist, widely acknowledged to be one of the greatest physicists of all time. Einstein is known for developing the theory of relativity, but he also made important contributions to the development of the theory of quantum mechanics. Relativity and quantum mechanics are together the two pillars of modern physics. His mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2, which arises from relativity theory, has been dubbed "the world's most famous equation". His work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science. He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect", a pivotal step in the development of quantum theory. His intellectual achievements and originality resulted in "Einstein" becoming synonymous with "genius".
