What Do Grief, Loss, Hope, and Faith Have to Do With Quantum Physics? (Adapted from Season 1, Episode 7 for Throwback Thursday) Life is uncertain. You can observe that in the real world, and you will. But it takes a quantum view to really see what’s happening down deep. And it’s beautiful, and terrifying, and hard to understand but it explains everything. Losing my son was awful and horrifying and never stops hurting. But my work that was birthed from that pain has saved lives. And your pain can be redeemed too. Your life still has meaning and purpose despite painful circumstances. Because of superposition, because it doesn’t just spin one way, it can be more than one thing at the same time. Thank God, or it would be unbearable. Start learning to see the physics of your own life, friend. That’s where you’ll find the hope you need. That’s how you’ll be able to start today.PLEASE SUBSCRIBE to the show wherever you listen!
