The Concept: Non-locality and Entanglement in Quantum Mechanics

The concept of non-locality and entanglement in quantum mechanics is a fascinating idea that explores how particles that are separated over vast distances can still communicate and be connected. String theory proposes multiple dimensions which correlate with the forces of nature, and entangled particles are believed to be entangled in more expansive degrees of freedom. This concept resonates with the philosophical ideas of relationality and potentiality discussed in the works of thinkers like Deleuze and Guattari.
