For most couples , matrimony is the with child commitment they will ever make . Marital vow demand absolute fidelity from both partner , who pledge themselves to each other “ ' til death do us part . ” wedding party ring seemingly serve as physical item of this connection , but wedding rings can be lost or bent or outgrow . For a more permanent answer , experimental philosopher Jonathon Keats thinks cathartic has the answer in the var. of “ quantum web , ” in which a pair of linked subatomic particle become connected so that whatever chance to one molecule also happen to the other . ( concern toThe Notebook : “ If you ’re a razz , I ’m a bird . ” )
Speaking toFastCo , Keats ( who has undergone the process with his married woman ) says quantum entanglement is the tiptop of a committed relationship . “ Two or more particles that become embroiled behave as if they ’re one and the same , even if they ’re a universe of discourse aside , " he tell . " To me , it just seemed like what more could you want in a kinship than what those particle partake in ? ”
The process of becoming quantum entangle with another person expect a particular apparatus , which Keats is facilitate for two days at the Life is Beautiful fete in September , host by the Art Motel in Las Vegas . twosome aspiring to entangle their particles step into a way in which a nonlinear crystal , developed specially in a laboratory background , is illuminated by a cheery window . Any photon of light that fade through the crystal become tangle , then get reflected by various mirror and prisms positioned around the room , bouncing around and landing on the couple in question . congratulation , you ’re entangled !
There ’s no way to bear witness that the procedure has wreak , because inherent in the nature of tangle atom is the paradox that any seek to measure their body process mechanically disentangle them , break the very bond that ’s under examination . In a way , it ’s another symbolic representation of married couple : Faith , combine , and the belief that once you ’re entangled , you ’re entangled for living .
