Quantum Entanglement- or Life, the Universe and Everything
How things we can’t see can have the greatest of effects on our lives
This is not intended to be a treatise on religion or physics, as I am not a scholar in either field. It is my interpretation, from my somewhat random thoughts, on Quantum entanglement, Einstein’s “spooky action at a distance”, and how it relates to spirituality and daily life.
Quantum entanglement, the fact that on the sub-atomic level, two or more atoms have instant connection and act as one, has fascinated me since I first learned of it. The idea that entanglement can be created by spatial proximity led me to an idea of how the observable universe works.
It is commonly accepted that before the Big Bang there was a sphere, or infinitesimal point, of infinitely compressed super-heated and super-unstable, unknown kind of matter or energy. In that state, the pre-Big Bang matter or energy had to be entirely entangled. Then, for an unknown reason, that matter or energy, being so hot and unstable, exploded in what is known as the Big Bang, and its energy became a rapidly expanding super-heated universe. And because energy can be neither created nor destroyed but can only change form, as the universe cooled, matter began to form can neither be created nor destroyed. The pre-explosion matter could have been the equivalent of a…
