When two electrons are entangled, when observed, one will have a certain spin, the other will always be the opposite.

It's also said that before they're observed, the electron is in a state of flux, it's both a -1/2 and 1/2 spin. (Rather like the cat is both alive and dead).

But how do we know it's in this flux? What tells us?

Also, what are the effects of an electron in this state? As opposed to the effects of an electron that definitively has either a 1/2 or -1/2 spin?
