The Curious Case of Twin Telepathy & Biological Quantum Entanglement

 Quantum entanglement has been observed many times and it’s extremely fascinating, so much so that Einstein called it “spooky action at a distance.” Quantum entanglement occurs when two particles, in their quantum state, are separated from each other yet, when you do to something to one of them the other one does the exact same thing. This happens regardless of what distance is between them.

For example, if you “spin” one of the particles, the other one will also instantaneously start spinning. This suggests that the two, what appear to be “separate” pieces of physical matter are somehow still interconnected in some way we don’t quite yet understand yet. It seems that either they are still “touching” and connected, or it may also be that information is travelling much faster than the speed of light.

But can some sort of quantum entanglement be observed at the ‘classical’ physics scale?

If we examine stories that exist regarding twins for example, quantum entanglement may be the answer. We will get to this (the science) shortly after examining a few examples.

These kinds of sentiments have been found in literature for quite some time, that there is something between twins, and it made me wonder, is there actually something to this?

In their book "The Encyclopedia of Superstitions," folklorists E. and M.A. Radford note that:

"It is a very common belief that twins, especially identical twins, are united by a strong bond of sympathy that each knows when danger or misfortune threatens the other, even when they are separated. In the same mysterious way, any special state of happiness or wellbeing in one of the pair is reflected in the feelings of the other. It is often said that if one twin dies, the other will not live long thereafter."...<<<Read More>>>...
