The world is in a crash collision of opinion bombs, failed policies, daggered words, multiple realities, fake news, and unrequited desires.
We are the consequence of a sudden burst of rapid expansion an instant after the Big Bang, blowing up from an infinitesimally small speck to one spanning a quarter of a billion light-years in mere fractions of a second, or so they say.
The prevalent theory suggests that the universe is a bubble of some sort that is expanding. We live on the skin of this bubble, and it exploded 13.8 billion years ago.
On the other hand, the reality of Quantum theory, based on a radically different picture — is one of multiplicity. Subatomic particles can exist simultaneously in multiple states.
Take the electron, a subatomic particle that carries a negative charge. Wondrous devices in our lives, such as transistors, computers, and lasers, are all possible because the electron, in some sense, can be in several places at the same time.
The behavior of the electron defies our conventional understanding of reality. Hierarchies and anti-hierarchies. Crash Crash crash.
