Quantum entanglement

When two souls remain connected beyond space and time

There is something in nature that makes you believe that when two people truly connect, they never really drift apart. Months or even years may pass, they may live in different worlds… and yet something—like a secret harmony—keeps them still in tune.

If you think this is just poetry, then perhaps you haven’t yet encountered quantum entanglement.

So, what is quantum entanglement?

Quantum entanglement is one of the most mysterious and astonishing phenomena in physics! According to it:

Two particles can be in a shared quantum state (e.g., spin), such that whatever happens to one instantly affects the other—even if they’re separated by vast distances across the universe.

Practically, this means that if two photons, electrons, or atoms become entangled, then even if you separate them by light-years, measuring one instantly changes the state of the other.

Einstein was the first to suspect it, famously calling it “spooky action at a distance.” At first, he resisted the idea, but experimental evidence eventually convinced him.

How was it proven?

The famous Bell inequality experiments demonstrated that nature cannot be explained by “hidden local variables.” In other words:

• There is no “hidden information” inside the particles.

• Their correlation is real and non-local.

• 
  

Experiments from 1981 (Aspect), 1998 (Weihs), and 2015 (Zeilinger – Nobel 2022) confirmed that particles remain connected regardless of distance. In fact, entangled photons have been created and transmitted over 1,200 kilometers via satellite in China, and their correlation was preserved.

A romantic interpretation:

Now imagine that two people were made of such particles—or once behaved like them. They came close, exchanged information, formed a shared “state”—psychic, emotional, energetic.

And then they parted. One went north, the other south. They no longer speak. They send no messages. Neither knows what the other is doing.

But when one thinks of the other, something stirs. Something subtle. As if an inner needle shifts. As if something aligns within, without explanation.

Maybe it’s just imagination. Or maybe… it’s entanglement.

In physics, entanglement is so strong that even when you’re not observing the particles, they remain bound. Doesn’t that resemble the memory of someone

who still lives inside you, without needing to appear?

And what does this have to do with The Matrix?

Some theoretical physicists have proposed that if we live in a digital simulation, phenomena like quantum entanglement should have limits. Why?

Because a simulation has capacity, bandwidth, and costs. If there were some “external system” coordinating entanglement, perhaps we could detect it.

Physicist Melvin Vopson suggested that information has physical mass and could be used to reveal the true nature of reality. If we find that information in a system disappears or moves in an "artificial" way, we might actually be inside something programmed—like the Matrix.

For now, though, quantum entanglement appears to be real—and natural. And that may be more magical than any simulation.

The universe preserves connections:

In quantum mechanics, when two particles become entangled, they no longer have separate identities. They are parts of the same thing: a single wavefunction describes them together—not separately.

Perhaps love works the same way: two separate selves who, in one moment, became a system. And when they part, something remains active. Something you cannot measure—but neither can you deny.

Just like entangled particles, some people never fully "un-entangle." Maybe you’ll never send a message again. Maybe you’ll never know what the other felt when they saw something that reminded them of you.

But maybe, the very moment you wondered whether they were thinking of you…they were.

Not because a message traveled.

But because it didn’t have to.

You were already connected.
