    Love and Quantum Physics

    This is a nice idea and I read it in the book "Random Acts of Heroic Love" by Danny Scheinmann. Very good read. Makes you cry in the Tube, btw. Anyway, here is relationship explained and Quantum Physics terms:  "Not every collision will make an electron change its spin-an electron can have many affairs,.., but not all will be significant. If, however, the electron is profoundly affected by another electron it will become entangled with the new partner."

    Another one from The Bone People

    (p293 of Penguin Books, 1986.)
    "Pig ignorant old Australian bastards should get back where they belong. To their dead-hearted, deadbeat offal-catering country. Not parasitise here, littering up Godzone."


    From the Bone People

    Travelling on the Tube a lot nowadays, I am reading, reading, reading. The Bone People it is at the moment, by Keri Hulme. This paragraph I find worth remembering:

    "But wait here a little longer, think a bit more. You are involved with two strangers, different and difficult people. Your are different and difficult yourself, but strangely enough, you all get on well together. To the extent that there can be real fight, and forgiveness and renewed friendship after.
    To what end, my soul?
    Remember how horrifyingly painful it was when you and the family broke apart? So much so, that a brief meeting with one member is enough to put you in despair. The pain is back. Be wary. Keep it cool friendship. Look out for the child by all means-it's the least you can do as a human being-but don't let them get too close." (p250 of Penguin Books, 1986.)
