The 100 Greatest Rock Moments of the Millennium So Far - Part 7: (40-31)
It’s wild how so much in this universe is connected in ways we don’t understand…there’s something in quantum physics that Einstein called “spooky interaction at a distance”.
Quantum theory says that you can have a particle-like, er, this one here—which is connected to another identical particle billions and billions of light-years away.
And if I give this one a flick—boop!—I just booped its twin on the other side of the universe at the same time…change it here, and it changes there instantaneously…yeah, I know, it’s freaky…but that’s how quantum physics works.
History can be like that, too…you poke at this one person, this one thing, this one event, and it has an effect on another person, thing or event way over there.
It doesn’t happen instantly because our existence is in the universe ruled by classical physics where such things can’t happen…but in retrospect, you see how one little thing in the timeline can unleash a series of cascading events and unintended consequences.
This is why I believe every once in a while, I believe it’s important to stop to look at how we got to where we are today…reviewing and studying the past is a way to understand the present…and if we’re careful, we might be able to use this information to predict at least some of the future.
This is episode seven of a ten-part series that’s looking back on what happened in rock through the first 25 years of the 21st century…let’s see if we can’t put a few more pieces together.
