A short detour into the topic of quantum particles: they seem to move in random ways. However experiments show that the random movements create predictable wave-like patterns. Life may seem random sometimes, though when viewed from the 30,000-foot level, patterns are revealed. So rather than focusing on the outcome of events, we should be looking at the patterns in our lives. Take a look around, what patterns do you see?
When quantum particles were studied, it was discovered that we could know where they were OR how fast they were going, but not both at the same time. This is known as the Uncertainty Principle. It means that we can’t know everything in the universe. So much for the know-it-alls!
Einstein discovered that light is a particle. However, when we shine light through a prism, the light waves are separated into rainbow colors. Each color is a frequency of the light wave. So light and other quantum particles are both a particle and a wave!
Einstein could not accept this particle/wave duality of quantum particles so he devised a thought experiment to disprove it. This led to the discovery of “entanglement” which says you can’t talk about some particles without reference to another particle. When you touch one particle it immediately affects the other entangled particle. So what you do affects more than you know! What do you do that affects others?
In the old paradigm, the universe acts like a big clock. If we want to understand the clock we have to take it apart and look at the pieces. In the new paradigm we look at the whole clock and how it works and only then can we understand the pieces. So practice seeing the whole to understand the pieces!
