Are we entangled?

Post by Sushan »

This topic is about the January 2023 Philosophy Book of the Month, Entanglement - Quantum and Otherwise by John K Danenbarger




In simple words, quantum entanglement is,
.......the phenomenon that occurs when a group of particles are generated, interact, or share spatial proximity in a way such that the quantum state of each particle of the group cannot be described independently of the state of the others, including when the particles are separated by a large distance.........For example, if a pair of entangled particles is generated such that their total spin is known to be zero, and one particle is found to have clockwise spin on a first axis, then the spin of the other particle, measured on the same axis, is found to be anticlockwise.

The author of this book discusses about this concept in relation to the humans (human entanglement). And the following link is to an article written on the same subject (human entanglement with human and non-human subjects).

What are your opinions regarding either of the concepts? Are we entangled with other humans and non-human subjects? Is it a choice or is it mandatory? Or is it a mere illusion or an excuse for lazy people?

There's merit to the claim of entanglement of all sorts. Like all good ideas, Danenbarger's is a bold one which is to say it's crazy beyond crazy, but of course only to some who Danengbarger would call those-who-haven't-seen-the-light, the ... er ... dark ones!

I appreciate your perspective on the concept of entanglement in both the quantum realm and human relationships. It is indeed a bold claim, and it's natural for some individuals to be skeptical or view it as "crazy beyond crazy." However, I believe it is essential to approach such ideas with an open mind and consider their potential implications.

The interconnectedness of human beings and other entities in our world is well-documented in various fields, from psychology to ecology. While the concept of human entanglement may not be as easily quantifiable as quantum entanglement, it does provide a valuable lens through which we can examine our relationships and our place within the intricate web of life.

As for whether entanglement is a choice or mandatory, I would argue that it is a natural part of our existence. We are inherently social creatures who form connections and relationships throughout our lives. These connections may vary in strength and nature, but they inevitably shape our experiences and growth. In this sense, entanglement is neither an illusion nor an excuse for laziness; rather, it is a manifestation of the complex and interwoven nature of our world.
