Physicists have discovered a completely new type of quantum entanglement

Using the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at the Brookhaven National Laboratory.

Yes, the RHIC at the BNL if you prefer acronyms

To streamline the process of getting to the rest of the story.

So they fired up the old RHIC at the BNL

And created some entangled positive and negative pions

With interference patterns that were synchronized

Yet remaining distinguishable particles, “Hooray for Science!”.

If you don’t know much about quantum entanglement

Here is a quick refresher

Einstein called it “spooky action at a distance”

The sort of thing scientists love to observe and measure.

My qualifications to comment on such discoveries

I can outline in a jiffy.

I got a passing grade in high school physics class

Fifty years ago (my background's a little iffy).

Explaining science to others

Doesn’t take a Ph.D.

And almost anyone can write a poem,

As made evident by my poetry.

This discovery of the entanglement of dissimilar particles

May not seem to be such a big hairy deal.

Yet the advancement of science is incremental

And this one could have far reaching implications, I feel.
