Every since I discovered it, Quantum Entanglement has baffled my mind. In short, quantum entanglement is a phenomenon that occurs when two particles are generated or begin to interact, and then at the quantum level they become linked. The quantum state of one of the particles cannot be described independently of the other. Their actions and properties become linked by an inanimate bond that is observable but immeasurable. If you perturb one of the particles, the other will react and change instantaneously. This included the spin of the particles, polarization, and position in space. And the entanglement exists regardless of distance. Einstein described it as "spooky action at a distance." There is no mechanism for explaining the entanglement at extraordinary distances but it has been measured.
Understanding this crazy notion of an immeasurable link that knows no boundaries, no distances, and no restraints, we shift our thinking to the possibility of other immeasurable phenomenon with similar characteristics. But I want to discuss one in particular. The first time I heard something like this proposed, was in my favorite show of all time, Fringe. A science fiction show based around fringe science topics, the universe and the distance you'll go for your family. A must watch. The idea proposed in the episode was that emotions, like particles may be able to become entangled too.
Emotional Quantum Entanglement.
Since our biology is made up of the basic particles that compose everything (protons, electrons, neutrons etc), is it possible that our thoughts, emotions and feelings are quantifiable and observable productions, generated from our brain physiology like an electric current generated from a magnetic field? What if they are comparable to light, behaving like a wave at a macro level, but having the basic micro properties of particle existence? Is it then logical to ask, what if our thoughts, emotions, and feelings can express quantum entanglement too?
I believe it's true. In my own experience, and in talking to so many others, I'm open minded to this possibility. There has been too much "spooky action at a distance" for me to ignore it. Two people, maybe even more than two, can develop bonds as humans that are so intimate, so deep, and so co-dependent that if the base science holds true, it would be entirely possible to imagine this phenomena occurring.
Reflect on the time you thought about that person whom you hadn't talked to in ages, and then they randomly reached out to you. Or the time you "just knew" what your significant other was thinking. When you had the "gut feeling" something was wrong with your family member. One of the most powerful examples I have of this, was when my father, about 10 or so years ago, sitting at his desk at home, had a powerful sensation come over him, that he needed to call his mom. For no other reason than "intuition" he did so. It turns out that she had just been approached at her door by a man looking for her credit card information under the guise of need-to-know jurisdiction. My dad was able to stop that situation in its tracks right then and there, and there is absolutely no explanation for why my dad had the urge to call my grandma. But I keep an open mind to the possibility of Emotional Quantum Entanglement.
To bring it full circle, I want to look big picture. If we understand the base scientific principle that all matter is made of the same fundamental things, this includes our biological selves, our organic and inorganic environment, and the fabric of the universe itself, then we stumble upon yet another logical next question. What if it can all be entangled? What if there exists an immeasurable bond that connects everything. After all, when you look at images of the structure of our neural networks compared side by side to the super structure of the universe, they look awfully similar. In fact, if you think about the structure of an atom -- a central cluster of heavier particles with orbiting smaller particles, it sounds pretty similar to the structure of a solar system. Long story short, its not hard to imagine that our brains have a deeper connection to the universe and to each other than we know. And furthermore it's not unfathomable to believe that with the complexity of both our brains/emotions and the universe itself that there is a context for brain-to-brain connection and brain-universe connection. Everyday we observe fascinating, unpredictable, and hard to explain phenomena as humans in this fascinatingly, unpredictable and hard to explain universe. We should keep an open mind to the possibility of our ability to develop a thought-based, emotional entanglement via our brains. And we should keep an open mind to the possibility of that entanglement being bigger and deeper than just our selves. The next time you hear the song that reminds you of your childhood best friend, and you look over to see a text message from them, remember Emotional Quantum Entanglement. And marvel in awe at this life.
