Wow, thanks Photon, and, umm, by the way, how is it that you chose your Nick anyways?

I am still trying to wrap my head around determining the state of one particle by observing its entangled partner. I seem to remember hearing in high school physics about a particle in a box, and you would change its behavior simply by observing it. Can't remember exactly how that story goes, but this sounds familiar.

What exactly is passed between the two particles when one is observed? Can you lie about your observations and convince the contrary particle to go the other way, like some kind of reverse quantum psychology?
