If I had finished my thesis work, I'd have a PhD in physics. I had all the other requirements out of the way. I pivoted because I didn't want a life of publish/perish and chasing funding.

This is quantum entanglement: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_entanglement
(a non-intuitive concept for many, but this explains it reasonably well, I think, and isn't sloppy)

Has nothing to do with photons reflecting off of an apple.

If someone wants to shake up physics, go for it. We like that. We like having our assumptions challenged. But you can't change the meaning of a scientific term just because you feel like it. Heck, this is the foundation of the EPR experiment. We know it happens, but we still haven't figured out how. It may require new physics to explain it (i.e. how the information can travel faster than the speed of light in the experiment). Perhaps that new physics will allow QM and GR to unify.

As a physics person, it's hard for me to get past the sloppy (incorrect) use of terminology.
