Please help me find the most romantic equation

I need help in locating a picture.

A few years ago, I read a blog post about "The Most Romantic Equation."

It was a framed rectangular picture of a physics equation that describes string theory.

Underneath the equation was an explanation (IIRC) of how this formula was the most romantic equation. The explanation read that no matter how far apart two objects are, they are always in communication and will react instantaneously to changes in each other. Basically, no amount of distance will ever keep them apart.

I believe there was a way to order the print.

I cannot find this at all.
My Google-fu has failed.

Can anyone help me locate this framed picture?

Entanglement?

This has nothing to with string theory. You're talking about quantum entanglement I believe:

Quantum entanglement is a quantum mechanical phenomenon in which the quantum states of two or more objects are linked together so that one object can no longer be adequately described without full mention of its counterpart — even though the individual objects may be spatially separated.

That might or might not help you in your search.

Which is, as it turns out, what theyexpectresults provided 2 hours sooner than I did. :)

Thanks to everyone for clarifying that it is Entanglement and not String theory. That probably would have helped my search if I remembered that :)

Thanks to theyexpectresults for the website.

You guys rock!
