In quantum language, observation simply means this — the moment anything in the physical world interacts with the electron, touches it,

Perfectly Alone.

Eight billion people on this planet. Yet alone. From time to time we reach this point. Maybe right now. Maybe last Tuesday. Maybe at a party last month surrounded by people who knew our name. Maybe it's because we've never quite separated two things that feel
