Quantum entanglement links distant objects in a way that makes it appear as though they're right next to each other. It may be that the threads of quantum entanglement are the stitches in the fabric of space-time itself. This is where you get to the idea that dark energy might accelerate us faster than quantum phenomenon can keep up.
Neil deGrasse Tyson, comic co-host Chuck Nice, and theoretical physicist and author Brian Greene answer questions from our fans about string theory, the fabric of spacetime, interstellar travel, free will, and the meaning of life.
