It sounds like a tiebreaker round in a mixed martial arts bout: entanglement sudden death, or ESD. In actuality it is a mysterious phenomenon by which entangled quantum objects--two electrons, for example, whose properties are linked by some instantaneous connection across space--can suddenly break off their relationship.
