love is quantifiable
on quantum entanglement, emotion, and the human longing for connection
At our core, we are all connected. Not visibly. Not logically. But deeply, and undeniably.
If you’ve ever thought of someone and suddenly, your phone lights up with a message from exactly that person you know the feeling. You smile and say, “What a coincidence.” But something inside you wonders if it really is.
In quantum physics, there’s a strange and beautiful phenomenon called entanglement. Two particles that once interacted remain connected, no matter the distance between them. One particle “knows” what’s happening to the other. Instantly. Without communication. Without delay. As if they share a memory, or a state of being.
For physicists, this challenges the very laws of space and time. For life, it just might be… natural.
everything is possible, until you choose
You’ve probably heard of Schrödinger’s cat. The idea that a cat in a box is both alive and dead, until you check. In the quantum world, reality is not fixed. It exists as a cloud of probabilities. Only when we measure it, when we observe, it chooses one state.
Isn’t that exactly how we live?
We wake up each morning with a thousand paths ahead of us. We could call someone. We could stay silent. We could open up. Or hold back. We exist in a superposition of choices. Until we decide.
Love is one of those choices. And, at the same time, a state.
what if love is physics?
The love between a mother and her child. That intuitive gut feeling. That sense of knowing, without needing to speak. It’s as if the bond goes beyond biology. Beyond logic. What if it lives in the quantum?
What if mother and child remain part of one entangled system, even as they drift apart in space and time?
Maybe love isn’t just an emotion. Maybe it’s a frequency. A resonance. A pattern that repeats, again and again. Like two guitar strings tuned to the same note, vibrating in harmony – even from a distance.
Maybe that’s why we talk about attraction. Why we search for “soulmates”. Maybe we’re looking for a piece of us that became separated. A particle we once shared a system with. And when we meet someone and feel that instant connection, maybe what we’re sensing is an ancient resonance, reawakening.
what does this have to do with design?
Design, too, begins in a field of possibility. A cloud of drafts. Concepts. Versions. Superpositions. It’s only when we test, observe, and choose that ideas collapse into form, into color, shape, product, or interface.
And in design, just like in love, we seek connection. Between user and product. Between intent and impact. Between function and feeling.
The best designs don’t feel “created.” They feel discovered. Natural. Inevitable. As if they’ve always been there, waiting to be seen. Maybe, like love, design isn’t about invention. Maybe it’s about recognition.
love is not random. it’s a possibility.
Maybe love isn’t something that happens to us, but something we trigger. Like a quantum measurement. Maybe we communicate through invisible signals, beyond what science can yet explain.
Maybe love is measurable. Not in numbers, but in effects. In glances. In gut feelings. In those quiet “I knew it” moments.
And maybe, just maybe, love is our longing to be whole again. To find that one missing piece of a system we were once part of. To reunite with a frequency we’ve been quietly vibrating to our whole lives.
Love may not defy science, it might be rooted in it. It could be a quantum connection across time and space. Like design, love moves from infinite possibilities to a single choice. And perhaps, in both, we are always searching for resonance. A moment of alignment. A design that simply feels right. A person who simply feels known.
