Einstein's Quantum Riddle (Quantum Entanglement)

[Vertigo]

I don't know if this was a repeat or not but I saw this fascinating program a few nights ago on BBC 4:

BBC Four - Einstein's Quantum Riddle

The story of quantum entanglement, perhaps the strangest concept in science.

I hadn't realised beforehand that the original quantum entanglement experiments had a theoretical observational loophole which this experiment countered by generating two sets of random data generated from the light from two quasars, eliminating the previous problem by the fact that the randomness was generated millions of years before the entangled particles!

And unlocking the secrets of the universe's construction had to be delayed due to bad weather...

Yes, I was panicking that the program was going to be inconclusive when that happened.

I'll try to watch it, yet I'm afraid, my current level of mathematical/physics knowledge is on par with Earnest T. Bass. So, it might be a bit much for me.
