/sci/ - Science & Math

My reputation got assblasted on social media and people started gossiping and even blatantly lying about me. If you google me, you can still probably find a thread or two.
This was years ago, but I took it so hard that I eventually had to drop out from my theoretical physics studies. All I felt was anxiety and dread all the time, and couldn't focus on anything else.

I'm still fighting this dilemma: should I go back and finish my degree, or is there any point now that humanity's hivemind has already abandoned me?
I don't know why, but it's extremely hard to just ignore the fact you know someone somewhere is posting lies about you.
I've spent years googling myself making sure nobody is posting slanderously about me. When I find zero results, I feel a brief relief. But in a few hours, I need to re-check because the anxiety is back. "What if? What if?"
The only upside is that this is happening to more and more people now that social media's main purpose is to leech life force out of other people.

Can you brief me on quantum teleportation and entanglement?
What do we know about these phenomena and what's considered so weird about them?
I'm not a physicist but I like to think about abstract concepts and I'd like some food for thought.

Further questions: Can we even "label" electrons or photons? If we teleport a photon, how do we know it's the same one? What if they just invented a system for spawning a photon and we think it teleported?
