quantum entanglement


Larry: Hey Don, are you, are you familiar with, um, quantum entanglement?




Don: Um, I don't think so, I'm not sure.




Larry: Okay, it's a theory that holds that photons come in pairs that are separated by space and time, but always in instantaneous, inexplicable communication. Einstein calls it "spooky action at a distance." But you know I find it... I find the notion fairly romantic.




Don: How so?




Larry: Well, uh, I mean, we affect each other, even when we don't mean to, even when we don't want to, we're connected, you see, even when we try to be unaffected.




Don: Why do I get the feeling you're talking about my love life?




Larry: Don, the universe is accelerating in such a rate that someday, eventually it will all fly apart and all matter will just drift alone and become disconnected. And how sad that would be if human beings were to behave in a similar fashion? And after considerable inner debate, I find that the risks of human contact are more than compensated for by the rewards.




Don: I'll keep that in mind.




Larry: That was not clear.
