The secret here is that space itself may be an emergent property rather than a fundamental backdrop. On a quantum level, the universe seems to be deeply non-local. Everything might be connected in a way that our three-dimensional brains struggle to visualize. As the physicist John Archibald Wheeler once put it, we live in a "participatory universe."
Two particles can become linked so that measuring one instantly determines the state of the other, no matter how far apart they are – even light-years away. the secret of quantum physics
: One of the most perplexing ideas is that subatomic particles might only exist in a definitive state once they are observed. Energy and Vibration The secret here is that space itself may
What is a "measurement"? Does the electron know if a human is watching? No. As the physicist John Archibald Wheeler once put
Despite 100 years of success, no one knows why measurement causes collapse (if it does). The remains unsolved.
So, why should you care? How does the secret of quantum physics change your daily life?
