When it comes to the tiniest particles, big things are going on! Physicists have coaxed two separate atoms to communicate with a sort of quantum intuition that Albert Einstein called "spooky," in a process known as quantum entanglement. Understanding how this works could give us the ability to time travel in the future, as well as do super-fast...
The kind of science being done by quantum physicists today is incomprehensible to the rest of us, whose science knowledge is now out-of-date. The best scientists are searching for a theory of everything: a single theory that unites all of the universe's fundamental forces. You could even call it a quest for God.
