Big words and concepts

Abound here. The laboratory process set-up made my eyes glaze over, but overall, a pretty good article. I hate to cut and paste, but here's the money paragraph:

The research, described in the June 4 issue of Nature, involves a bizarre intertwining between two pairs of vibrating ions (charged atoms) such that the pairs vibrate in unison, even when separated in space. Each pair of ions behaves like two balls connected by a spring (see figure), vibrating back and forth in opposite directions. Familiar objects that vibrate this way include pendulums and violin strings.

Look around you. Could your interpersonal connections have a quantum connection? Are you "bonded" with your people? Are you "on the same wavelength?" Do you "vibe" with them?

"As above; so below," or more appropriately, "As below; so above."
