About This Quote
Life had stepped into the place of theory and something quite different would work itself out in his mind. This quote is, in part, a reference to quantum mechanics. In quantum mechanics, the smallest unit of matter is known as a "qubit." The properties of qubits are thought to be influenced by their environment. This idea has been used to explain nonlocality in quantum physics.
Nonlocality refers to the ability of two particles in the same place at the same time to instantaneously affect each other despite their distance apart. For example, it is known that particles do not need to move in order for one to affect another; they can also communicate instantaneously through nonlocality.
