Quantum Entanglement - The Quantum Source of Space-Time. Quantum entanglement is a physical phenomenon that occurs when pairs or groups of particles are generated or interact in ways such that the quantum state of each particle cannot be described independently - instead, a quantum state must be described for the system as a whole. Quantum mechanics governs the world of the small - the weird realm in which particle can be in many places at the same time, and can simultaneously spin both clockwise and anticlockwise. Gravity governs the Universe at large - from the fall of an apple to the motion of planets, stars and galaxies. The theory holds that gravity is geometry: particles are deflected when they pass near a massive object not because they feel a force but because space and time around the object are curved. Both theories have been abundantly verified through experiment, yet the realities they describe seem utterly incompatible. And from Van Raamsdonk standpoint, all that’s needed is ‘entanglement’: the phenomenon that many physicists believe to be the ultimate in quantum weirdness. Entanglement lets the measurement of one particle instantaneously determine the state of a partner particle, no matter how far away it may be - even on the other side of the Milky Way. In conclusion, it seems that entanglement is the essential ingredient that knits space-time together into a smooth whole - not just in exotic cases with black holes. If any two particles are connected by entanglement, the physicists suggested, then they are effectively joined by a wormhole. And vice versa: the connection that physicists call a wormhole is equivalent to entanglement. They are different ways of describing the same underlying reality.

first week of feb 2017 spread. it was pretty bland to be honest. lots of sleeping, lots of french music and lots of black sails season 3. been really lazy lately (still haven’t filled out the other page as im writing this) and i have a feeling i’m not gonna be able to finish my ap concentration projects. you had two weeks, ginny. nice job. i just need motivation.
4/100 days of productivity☁
in-class humanities + language arts notes🌞
i passed my chinese test!!with an improvement of 19.5 marks lmao- still not an A but i’ll get there
13017 || last week’s spread 💫
Good afternoon! I finished some of my assignments for next week. Also, I just made a youtube channel and I might or might not have uploaded my first video ever. 😂

08.12.2017; my arabic exam is really close, so i must start working harder now. i don’t think i’ll do great because i’m way behind my classmates (i joined the class two months later than them), but i feel like i’m learning so much, i feel way more confident with the language now, and it makes me so happy ♡
also, i started a new book under my father’s recommendation: ‘the seven minutes’ by irving wallace.
Scroll down and you can cruise along the icy rings of Saturn. This high resolution scan is a mosaic of images presented in natural color. The images were recorded in May 2007 over about 2.5 hours as the Cassini spacecraft passed above the unlit side of the rings. To help track your progress, major rings and gaps are labeled along with the distance from the center of the gas giant in kilometers. The alphabetical designation of Saturn’s rings is historically based on their order of discovery; rings A and B are the bright rings separated by the Cassini division. In order of increasing distance from Saturn, the seven main rings run D,C,B,A,F,G,E. (Faint, outer rings G and E are not imaged here.) Four days from now, on November 29, Cassini will make a close flyby of Saturn’s moon Titan and use the large moon’s gravity to nudge the spacecraft into a series of 20 daring, elliptical, ring-grazing orbits. Diving through the ring plane just 11,000 kilometers outside the F ring (image bottom) Cassini’s first ring-graze will be on December 4.
emma! do you have any great gel pen brands that are really nice to give as a gift? like kikki k style without being from kikki k if that makes sense
Hey! My favourite gel pens at the moment are Pilot pens (either the Juice or G2) and the Zebra Sarasa pens! They don’t exactly have that Kikki K style but really nice ink. If you wanted their particular look, you could try putting the ink from one pen into the Kikki K pen xx
