  2. What made Alain Aspect's 1982 experiment special?

“His team in Orsay, France changed the measurement settings while the photons were already in flight. The detectors were about 12 meters apart, so the two sides couldn't coordinate even at light speed.”

Reference: Aspect, Dalibard & Roger, *Physical Review Letters* (1982)
