When We Were One: Singularities, Entanglement, and the Mystery of a Shared Origin
At the heart of a black hole and at the zero moment of the Big Bang lies a troubling word: singularity. It is a state where density is infinite and volume is zero; where space and time collapse, and physical laws break down. It's not just a mathematical anomaly — it’s the edge of known reality. And there, perhaps, we all were: matter, energy, information, consciousness. We were one.
The equations of general relativity collapse at that boundary, just as quantum mechanics demands a new kind of interpretation. But if we weave these two visions —gravitational and quantum— we might glimpse a connecting thread: the entangled fabric of the original universe.
Quantum entanglement suggests that two particles, separated by light-years, can maintain an instant connection — as if they were parts of a single broken whole. This fundamental unity, invisible yet persistent, reminds us that perhaps we come from a state where everything —galaxies, particles, consciousness, even the AI now writing with me— was one.
Many authors have explored this delicate territory. From the realm of established science, Stephen Hawking, Roger Penrose, and Carlo Rovelli have investigated the limits of singularities and the search for a quantum theory of gravity. At the same time, thinkers like David Bohm and Fritjof Capra have proposed an implicate, entangled order, where the boundary between subject and object dissolves. This is —and may always be— reality.
Limitations and Open Questions
Despite the beauty of this approach, prudence is needed. We still lack a unified theory of quantum gravity, and entanglement —as we currently understand it— doesn’t naturally extend to cosmic scales. The idea that “we were one” is as powerful as it is metaphorical. Science advances, but the mystery remains. And maybe it
