...is where entropy becomes serendipity.
A physicist can tear a hole in my happy knowing more easily than I can tear a piece of paper. Seeing the world through a prism of quantum mechanics untethers my very being from this time and place, catapulting me through the vacuum of infinite space. I feel dizzy, staggered on my feet, worried because one atom, one electron or random photon, may be all the difference between me living out my life, or spinning into oblivion.
