einstein-podolsky-rosen paradox

The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox refers to a thought experiment in quantum mechanics that raises questions about the nature of reality and the connection between entangled particles. It suggests that when two particles become entangled, their properties become linked, regardless of the distance between them. According to EPR, measuring certain properties of one particle would instantaneously determine the properties of the other, even if they were separated by a huge distance, which seems to violate the principles of causality and locality as defined by classical physics.
