Can you think of a bond that is so strong, that nothing can break it? Even long distance?

It’s of course, love!

A power that connects us in ways we can’t always explain.

When we love each other, we affect each other. No matter the geographical distance between us.

We are entangled!

What is entanglement?

It’s a relationship very similar to love.

A connection that defies our understanding of space and time!

How does one influence the other?

Once particles are entangled, they are united!

They are not treated as separate entities anymore.

They are now one! For better, for worse.

Wavefunction

The wave function describes all information that can be known about a particle at a given time.

I want to understand – the universe, the world, me. What’s it all about? What is my purpose? As Socrates said, “the unexamined life is not worth living".
