The goal came in the 78th minute, seven minutes after Venema has been subbed on for Cyriel Dessers. His goal was the equalizer, and the last goal of the game.[5]

gollark: Another is superdeterminism, which is sort of kind of where the particles "know" what properties of them will be measured in advance.
gollark: One resolution is nonlocal hidden variables, i.e. the particles have some faster-than-light-speed backchannel to communicate things.
gollark: Bell's theorem rules out "local hidden-variables" interpretations of quantum physics, meaning that quantum mechanics cannot, assuming some assumptions, be doing this by storing some extra secret metadata with particles.
gollark: As you will know in time, quantum QM mechanics has "Bell's theorem". This describes some correlations between measurements of entangled particles which QM predicts correctly (based on empirical tests) and classical physics doesn't.
gollark: What? No. That would be stupid.
