    A) You would be older than your twin.
    B) You would be younger than your twin.
    C) You and your twin would be the exact same age.
    D) Time would stop for both of you entirely.
  2. In the world of quantum mechanics, scientists use the term ________ to describe how a particle can seemingly be in two places at once until it is observed.
    A) Superposition
    B) Gravity
    C) Friction
    D) Inertia

  1. Teleportation of information is being studied using 'Quantum Entanglement.' What happens to one entangled particle when its partner is changed far away?
    A) Nothing happens until a light signal reaches it.
    B) The second particle changes its state instantly.
    C) The particles swap places in the universe.
    D) Both particles disappear and turn into heat.
  2. The extremely small, foundational building blocks that make up protons and neutrons are called ________.
    A) Molecules
    B) Quarks
