Recursion

A little bit of quantum physics here.
Electrons are made up of quarks, way-small thingys that travel in pairs. Like yin and yang, they are complimentary, having opposite charges. They naturally travel together, but it's possible to pull them "apart", after a fashion.
Even when apart, a connection that can't be explained with present science exists between them- for example, as I said, they have opposite charges. It's possible to "flip" the charge of a quark with a bit of quantum mojo... when you do this, the other quark will "flip" as well, maintaining its charge-perspective in relation to the other quark.
This happens no matter how far apart the two quarks are, and with no time delay. Infomation just somehow flows between the quarks, along some sort of mystical connection. Distance and time isn't a factor in this.

Recursion is all around us. The patterns that nature uses for the very big are seen in the very small. The swirl of galaxies is the same swirl you'll find in your stirred coffecup

Sometimes you can see echos of parts of your life in the strangest places... like in the epemeral, mystic connection between two quarks. strange or charmed.
