25 | > There is this thing called "spooky | ||
26 | > action at a distance." Einstein | ||
27 | > mentioned it first I believe. It | ||
28 | > is about how two electrons can act | ||
29 | > like they are right next to each | ||
30 | > other although they are very far | ||
31 | > away (lightyears even). For a long | ||
32 | > time this puzzled scientists until | ||
33 | > someone (not Einstein) figured out | ||
34 | > that maybe the universe is a | ||
35 | > hologram or projection. So what | ||
36 | > appears to be very far apart in | ||
37 | > the hologram might actually be | ||
38 | > very close in the substrate | ||
39 | > reality. | ||

41 | > I want to talk about this | ||
42 | > effect in literature. In literature | ||
43 | > the writer writes words on a | ||
44 | > substrate (paper) and later the | ||
45 | > reader reads the same words off | ||
46 | > the substrate. Although the writer | ||
47 | > and reader might be very far apart | ||
48 | > from each other in time and space, | ||
49 | > they experience the same effect | ||
50 | > from reading the words. Even the | ||
51 | > writer reading his own words after | ||
52 | > he has written them becomes a | ||
53 | > reader and feels who he was at | ||
