avadWorking on my artwork...the piece I will call Entanglement. I search the web and read up some more on the subject from all sorts of articles.Hours pass. There is a new book I would like to find and read on the subject as well.Anyhoo, here are some snippets:
From Library Journal:
"Entanglement" is one of the more remarkable aspects of quantum mechanics, a field that has produced a number of counterintuitive phenomena. Entangled particles are created in the same process and retain a connection even if they become far separated physically. If a change is later imposed on one of these particles, then there instantaneously occurs a change with its entangled partner, even if that partner is very far away in another part of the universe. Thus, the news of the change is transmitted with infinite velocity by an unknown means. Einstein aptly referred to this phenomenon as "spooky." In recent decades, researchers have shown entanglement to be a physical fact, thereby vindicating quantum mechanics, spooky though it may be.
From Scientific American:
Trillions Entwined
Clouds of Atoms Are Linked By A Weird Quantum Yoke(avaD's note: ha. that should be the descriptive subtitle to my artwork)
By Graham P. Collins
"....Entanglement, long just a controversial plaything for theorists, is the weird phenomenon whereby the quantum states of two or more objects become intrinsically entwined in a partnership that in theory would remain unbroken across a distance of light-years. Previously achieved with only a few particles at a time, this marvel has now been demonstrated with two golfball-size clouds of cesium containing trillions of atoms. Eugene S. Polzik and his co-workers at the University of Århus in Denmark entangled the cesium clouds by shooting laser pulses through them. The process will enable robust new ways to teleport quantum states and store information in quantum memories, an essential element of the emerging technology of quantum computation."

I love that you are so creative! How long before I see the end products?
Change of subject.
We are soon to be in a position to move out of this are and have a little capital. Last night I had a poweful image of MEETING you. We were both jumping up and down with disbelief in an aiport lounge. I hope it proves to be prophetic.
Love, as ever

(hehe you'll have to bear with me on my different signatures half of my web contacts want on thing half feel easier with another and I for reasons of work (where I'm known as Liz exclusively) feel as though BOTH are valid - though Kim as I once said is my 'Soul' name.

*sigh* I have been spinning a bit the last few days- and it bothers me a bit because in order to make it stop I have to deliberately forget things, stop thinking about the absurdities and unknowns and learn to sleepwalk again. and that feels wrong.*sigh* just like our metaphor of taking the 'pills'.
