Quantum entanglement is the phenomenon of a group of particles being generated, interacting, or sharing spatial proximity in a manner such that the quantum state of each particle of the group cannot be described independently of the state of the others, including when the particles are separated by a large distance.
A Moving Target is a collection of essays and lectures written by William Golding. It was first published in 1982 [1] by Faber and Faber but subsequent reprints included Golding's Nobel Prize lecture which he gave after being awarded the honour in 1983. The book is divided into the two sections of "Places" and "Ideas".

In 1983, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, and was, according to the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, "an unexpected and even contentious choice". [ 6 ] Having been appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 1966 New Year Honours , [ 38 ] Golding was appointed a Knight Bachelor in the 1988 Birthday ...
John Bardeen is the only laureate to win the prize twice—in 1956 and 1972. William Lawrence Bragg was the youngest Nobel laureate in physics; he won the prize in 1915 at the age of 25. He was also the youngest laureate for any Nobel prize until 2014 (when Malala Yousafzai won the Nobel Peace Prize at the age of 17). [6]
