29 | ACTION FROM A DISTANCE" | ||
30 | |||
31 | There is this thing called "spooky | ||
32 | action at a distance." 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't | ||
63 | paper it's what the writing is | ||
64 | about. Where is the hologram? Are | ||
65 | physics and literature comparable? | ||
66 | What if the universe isn't a | ||
67 | hologram what then?</code></pre> | ||
