Quantum mechanics reveals the interconnectedness of the universe from "summary" of Reality Is Not What It Seems by Carlo Rovelli
In the world of quantum mechanics, the traditional boundaries between objects become blurred. Subatomic particles such as electrons do not have a precise position in space; instead, they exist in a state of superposition, where they can be in multiple places at once. This concept, known as quantum superposition, challenges our classical understanding of reality. It suggests that the universe is not made up of distinct, separate entities but rather a complex web of interconnected relationships.
One of the key principles of quantum mechanics is entanglement, where particles become linked in such a way that the state of one particle is instantly correlated with the state of another, regardless of the distance between them. This phenomenon defies our intuition about how the world works, revealing a deep connection between seemingly unrelated objects. In this way, quantum mechanics shows us that the universe is not a collection of isolated individuals but a unified whole where everything is interdependent.
The concept of entanglement also implies that the act of observing one particle can instantaneously affect another, even if they are light-years apart. This interconnectedness suggests that realit...
