Quantum Entanglement Holds DNA Together, Say Physicists

AFAICT, quantum entanglement is a blanket term for unexplained magic. It would be "real" if they could use this "magic" to construct something that otherwise can't be explained by anything else.

Is there proof of anything constructive coming out of quantum entanglement?

Then I guess you can't tell very far.

I think you are confusing measurable, reproducible quantum entanglement with the quackish invocation of the term to lend scientific credence to kooky paranormal theories.

There's a reason that Einstein was freaked out by "spooky action at a distance" and it wasn't because it didn't exist. It's because it did.

Have you measured quantum entanglement? I'm trying to.
