What do “Schrodinger’s cat,” desire, and grief have in common? They all seem, miraculously, to exist and not exist at the same time.
“Schrodinger’s cat” is a thought experiment invented by an Austrian scientist that enabled us to understand that in quantum physics, we can say that a particle both is and is not, and that these two states are superimposed. Desire is the pull toward a loved one that increases with distance or separation. And grief is that very peculiar state in which we make the dead exist, in which we grant them a place – painful and sometimes radiant – in our own existence. Quantum physics, life force, and disappearance are the centers of this triangular exchange between a writer marked by grief, a physicist obsessed with time, and a philosopher haunted by a vital impulse.
