New Quantum Record: Physicists Entangle 8 Photons | Wired Science | Wired.com:

"One of the most mind-blowing areas of quantum mechanics is entanglement: two or more particles separated in space can have physical properties that are correlated. A measurement performed on one particle will tell us the result of the same measurement taken on an entangled particle. "

Thanks for posting. The notion of entanglement -- "no matter how far the photons are separated in space" --- is what attracted this non-mathematics person to quantam physics some years ago ('the mind of God,' etc.)
