I'm glad to hear about this conversation in Valencia. More than any other branch of science, I think quantum mechanics parallels so-called conceptual art in how a small effort can provoke a radical conclusion. I doubt most professional scientists appreciate the way Bell's theorem undermines our default view of the world. By contrast, string theory seems to require a vastly higher ratio of number-crunching to brain-scratching.
You might appreciate this recent related result, which blew my socks off:
"Quantum Entanglement Survives Across an Event Horizon"

Physicist J. A. Wheeler famously said a black hole has no hair, meaning that all information about an object from the outside world dies once it enters a black hole. Now, apparently, a black hole can have hair if it's tangled.
