Make that 4 topics never to discuss in public; politics, religion, quantum entanglement, and pineapple on pizza (yuck).

Agreed! In fact, I would rather talk about quantum entanglement with you again than pineapple on pizza! :)

I just read a somewhat interesting article on Quantum Theory the other day, I think I almost understood some of it.

Well, that makes one of us. I just read it, and couldn't make heads or tails out of it. So I looked up two of the papers upon which it is based [1,2]. Those are (naturally) even tougher sledding. But I am working on it!

It looks like they have (caught a glimpse) of a particle transforming into a wave, or a wave transforming into a particle. It does not say they actually seen it, just "given a glimpse" whatever that means.... Wave theory has stumped physicist for over 100 years now.... (Schrödinger's cat etc.).
