Quantum Entanglement and Who We Are

I've been reading and contemplating again, and that always makes for dangerous thoughts that I’m going to share. I’ve been reading about quantum physics again, and I got to dwelling on quantum entanglement. Quantum Entanglement is (from wikipedia) “a physical phenomenon that occurs when pairs or groups of particles are generated or interact in ways such that the quantum state of each particle cannot be described independently—instead, a quantum state may be given for the system as a whole.” That sounds pretty technical, but what it comes down to is that particles operate in pairs where the action on one particle is mirrored in real time on the other particle whether they are next to each other or a universe apart.  Einstein called this “spooky action at a distance” and it does seem a little magical and even spooky - especially when you consider that these particles are not only inside of us but in every other object and being in the entire universe. If you extrapolate this back to the big bang it means that we are all entangled on a quantum level since we are all part of that original piece of matter that formed the universe. In a very real sense we are all one.  Not only that, but the actions we take effect every other person and thing in the entire universe - on a quantum level. Kind of puts a different spin on our ordinary problems we fuss with every day, huh? So when you wonder why you know that a friend or relative is hurting even though you haven’t talked to them, or when you sense that something is wrong with a physical object in your day like your car, now you know that there is a scientific reason for this supposed spiritual or psychic phenomena. Maybe spirituality and science aren’t so far apart!  If you want more info, there’s a fun and quick explanation on YouTube at:

What happened since I last wrote?

Magpies, the Goodnight Barn art reception, and my private party went really well! So many good friends came out to Magpies, the Goodnight reception was perfect with such great art, and the private party was a bullseye surprise with perfect weather at a beautiful location.

Then Halloween I only played Alzheimer’s and nursing gigs which was fine and fun. It saved you all from having to hear me sing “Monster Mash” again. ;-)

What’s up this week?

I’m at Magpies Friday 7-10 for what promises to be a great time. I so look forward to these evening with good friends and good food.  I haven’t made a plan for what I’m going to sing yet, so be prepared for some surprises.  Hope to see you there!

That’s it for this week.  I need to go contemplate some more!

Best always,

Tom
