Furthermore, there's nothing stopping the quantum world having different levels of underlying correlation--largely uncorrelated worlds are possible within the broad sweep of the theory, as are ones that are far more connected. But only a universe with the exact level of weirdness that corresponds to entanglement produces the rich tapestry of phenomena, including life, that people does
