The violation of local realism means that when you perform a measurement (on an entangled system), then when you get some result X for a property of a particle, that particle did not (necessarily) have property X prior to measurement.
The correlations implied through entanglement occur instantaneously, but you cannot use entanglement to "make things happen" faster than light.

What we really need is a better education system so that we have more educated people to work on such issues.

He said Statistical physics used to be called 'biophysics' and in fact his thesis was about the foraging patterns of albatross birds feeding on the ocean, which he showed followed a well known mathmematical pattern, don't know the name but it has to do with the bird making random turns hunting over the ocean in a locale then flying a matrix to a new locale and random movement in that area for a while and continuing that way. Gandi is now known as the 'father of foraging'.
