Who needs soulmates anyway?

Summary:

Have you ever longed to know about the academic discourse in the background of every soulmate AU?

“Dear Sir,
In your article you stated that soulmates are connected completely randomly through particles. This statement has been refuted by numerous experts in the field of soulmate research who have stated that the evidence suggests soulmates are selected through a non random process meant to align you with the person most complimentary to you.”

Thank you to my friends for listening to me yap relentlessly about this and offering advice.

Physicists puzzle over mechanism of soulmate pain entanglement

Theoretical physicists attempt to solve if soulmate pain entanglement is an instance of quantum weirdness on a macro scale. But how does the creation of the universe connect to your soulmate tripping over causing your knee to hurt?

When particles interact, either through collision or formation from a common origin, they can spilt leading to the particles remaining entangled afterwards. Because of this, the states of the particles regardless of their distance remain correlated. Like Plato’s tale of original humans split into halves, it appears soulmates arise from the splitting of fundamental particles into two parts. Within human beings, Max Born theorized there was an excess of these entangled particles which over time have led to random pairs of individuals around the world experiencing the same physical experiences. And yes, that includes pain.

However, other physicists were less generous of this idea soulmates came randomly. Einstein famously arguing against Born stated “He does not play dice with the universe.” …

Letters to the editor

Dear Sir,

In your article you stated that soulmates are connected completely randomly through particles. This statement has been refuted by numerous experts in the field of soulmate research who have stated that the evidence suggests soulmates are selected through a non random process meant to align you with the person most complimentary to you. Furthermore, in your article you should specify that the physicists mentioned are exploring the connection between quantum discord entanglement and soulmates. There has not yet been an example known in human history of two people maximally entangled.
