For example, we have the Newtonian theory of gravity, Einstein\u2019s theory of relativity, and quantum theory. Physicists know that each of them is true, yet they don\u2019t fit together and each is limited and partial. Newtonian mechanics can\u2019t model or predict the behavior of massive or quickly moving objects. Relativity does this well, but doesn\u2019t apply to very, very small things. Quantum mechanics succeeds on the micro level. But we don\u2019t yet have an adequate theory for understanding very energetic, very massive phenomenon, such as black holes. Scientists are still in search of a unified theory of the universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps the term \u201cquantum entanglement\u201d names something that we have long intuited, but science has only recently observed. Here is the principle in everyday language:&nbsp;<em>in the world of quantum physics, it appears that one particle of any entangled pair \u201cknows\u201d what is happening to another paired particle\u2014even though there is no known means for such information to be communicated between the particles, which are separated by sometimes very large distances.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scientists don\u2019t know how far this phenomenon applies beyond very rare particles, but quantum entanglement hints at a universe where everything is in relationship, in communion, and also where that communion can be resisted (\u201csin\u201d). Both negative and positive entanglement in the universe matter, maybe even ultimately matter. Prayer, intercession, healing, love and hate, heaven and hell, all make sense on a whole new level. Religion has long pointed to this entanglement. In Paul\u2019s letter to the Romans he says quite clearly \u201cthe life and death of each of us has its influence on others\u201d (14:7). The Apostles\u2019 Creed states that we believe in \u201cthe communion of saints.\u201d There is apparently a positive inner connectedness that we can draw upon if we wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Judy Cannato (1949-2011), a visionary of a \u201cnew cosmology,\u201d wrote:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>Emergent theories seem to confirm what mystics have been telling us all along\u2014that we are one, not just all human beings, but all creation, the entire universe.
