Is it possible that monozygotic twins are quantum entangled at conception?

Ask Science@lemmy.worldEnglish · 1 year ago

Feels like a shower thought, but I seriously want to know if there are any implications, because it seems like identical twins are able to sense, understand, and almost be extensions of each other - finish each other’s sentences/thoughts. Some even claim to be able to sense their twin when they’re separate. Hard to believe, but at all possible?

Nope. Human egg cells are way way too big to experience quantum effects.
