"This idea came via the Scientific American podcast where a journalist was discussing quantum entanglement and how entangled particles have an instantaneous effect on one another, even across great distances. Apparently, this breaks Einsteinian relativity, because entangled particles exchange information faster than the speed of light.
The way the journalist on the podcast described the linked particles reminded me of the Chinese red string of fate concept. The string links people together that are destined to meet."
This was a random illustration I saw at Tumblr. And it was probably the science teacher+hopefull romantic in me that just kicked off. At that time I felt like we were "quantumnly entanged". Why? I do not want to remember anymore, so I will not go over the list I am now starting to mentally tick one by one and save my heart and head for unnecessary words. It was strange and today years gone I go back to this idea again. Why? Because it happened again, that bit of strange connection that we have.
Why in the world that the scriptures shared last Sunday, the music, the photos and a message had to appear and flood my thoughts for several consecutive days? And why later today I found out a note I wrote three years ago, and it goes: "No I am not asking for you to be thankful. I am not even hoping you would talk to me. What I want is to make sure you have it and at that my heart would be at rest. But then such simple courtesy, sadly, cannot be given to me. I understand, for the last time I guess, I would understand."
Quantum Entanglement playing its joke on me? I hope not. I don't want any of it.
Why am I writing this then? It is to remember that I have decided to let go and I have moved on and that this strange connection we have should not stir any emotion aside from being thankful for the news that you are doing well.
I'm still and will remain to be in awe of this crazy awesome idea. Imagine, two linked particles can share a singe fate even when they are miles apart, influencing each other even in great physical distance, two parts behaving of a singe system when separated in space. Cool right?!
But I don't think anymore of us being like those particles, I've grown quite a bit from being a hopeful romantic to a grounded on reality hopeful romantic. And yes, quantum physics explains that this phenomena is based entirely on probabiity, in other words nothing is certain untli it happens and we already proved, more than enough, that there was nothing, at all.
