29 ACTION FROM A DISTANCE&quot;
30
31 There is this thing called &quot;spooky
32 action at a distance.&quot; Einstein
33 mentioned it first I believe. It
34 is about how two electrons can act
35 like they are right next to each
36 other although they are very far
37 away (lightyears even). For a long
38 time this puzzled scientists until
39 someone (not Einstein) figured out
40 that maybe the universe is a
41 hologram or projection. So what
42 appears to be very far apart in
43 the hologram might actually be
44 very close in the substrate
45 reality.
46 I want to talk about this
47 effect in literature. In literature
48 the writer writes words on a
49 substrate (paper) and later the
50 reader reads the same words off
51 the substrate. Although the writer
52 and reader might be very far apart
53 from each other in time and space,
54 they experience the same effect
55 from reading the words. Even the
56 writer reading his own words after
57 he has written them becomes a
58 reader and feels who he was at
59 that time, like a ghost.
60
61 PROBLEMS:
62 Maybe the substrate isn&#39;t
63 paper it&#39;s what the writing is
64 about. Where is the hologram? Are
65 physics and literature comparable?
66 What if the universe isn&#39;t a
67 hologram what then?</code></pre>
