Many of us have probably heard of “Quantum Entanglement.” But just in case, here is a description from an article in “New Atlas” by Michael Irving. I put the entire article on my homepage in case you want to go more in-depth.
.
“Physicists at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) have discovered a completely new type of quantum entanglement, the spooky phenomenon that binds particles across any distance. In particle collider experiments, the new entanglement allowed scientists to peer inside atomic nuclei in more detail than ever before. Pairs of particles can become so entwined with each other that one can no longer be described without the other, no matter how far apart they may be. Weirder still, changing one will instantly trigger a change in its partner, even if it was on the other side of the universe. The idea, known as quantum entanglement, sounds impossible to us, grounded as we are in the realm of classical physics. Even Einstein was unnerved by it, referring to it as “spooky action at a distance.” However, decades of experiments have consistently backed it up, and it forms the basis of emerging technologies like quantum computers and networks.”
.
But this is what’s new, from the same article.
“Usually, observations of quantum entanglement are made between pairs of photons or electrons that are identical in nature. But now, for the first time, the BNL team has detected pairs of dissimilar particles undergoing quantum entanglement.”
.
I propose that there is also, a type of human entanglement, down at the human quantum level. Let me explain. It begins with how our brains work. Our senses give us a limited amount of information to work with. Our eyes are only 20/20 in an area the size of our thumbnail at arm’s length. We don’t see in color, we see in black and white, our mind makes up the colors we see, and makes everything clear for us. The bottom line is that we make stuff up in our brains all the time. It is simply the way we are put together. These are just a couple of examples of what I call “Perception Deception.”
.
So why is that important? Because we are easily manipulated through the processes within our own minds. Now let’s look at the institutions and structures within our society, and what they do. All of them, are built as a way to disengage our entanglement to the human race, and our home planet, to create different entanglements, within factions or groups. That’s the how and why of religion, of nations, of political parties, and any number of organizations, ideologies, and philosophies. They are there to separate, to narrow the vision, and to give a false foundation for actions.
.
The foundational idea behind “Evolutionary Theory” is that to evolve, we must build our humanity on the solid structure of “Quantum Human Entanglement.” We begin, by first understanding who we are, owning the processes that run our own minds, not becoming mirrors of reflection, of the passions/ insanity of others, seeking control of us. That the abuse of one, is the abuse of all. That, we may be far away, but that we are all entangled in our fate.
.
There is a terrible lesson coming. That we are not mini-gods, because we can fool others. That we are not, the end all, be all. The universe was not build just for us, and we are not the center, or the purpose of it. We are merely a part of a process, that we don’t now understand but we make up stories in order to hide our fear of. To hide behind, instead of embracing the universe of truth, there to find, to explore, and to share.
.
We act, so many times as primitive animals, going to war with everything in a sad effort to prove our dominion over it. We have convinced ourselves, that we are the reason for the universe, as opposed to the result of a process within it. All to sooth our fragile egos and limited perception of things. Human evolution has its foundations in exploration, to understand the uncertainty of truth, as opposed to the institutionalized comfort of a contrived lie, to gain a false sense of superiority and comfort.
.
We are indeed entangled with our shared humanity, the universe itself, and the exploration of those. No matter the distance created by institutions, ideologies, and philosophies, we are indeed entangled.
