Maybe It's Love

I love theoretical physics, and now I might have stumbled on a quantum theoretical answer to the problem of love. Well, either way I wrote a song about one.

I was inspired by an article I read on NPR which was ominously titled Scientists Take Quantum Steps Toward Teleportation. It got me so revved up that this song just kind of poured right out of me.

We're Quantumly Entangled

They say when 2 electrons
get very very near
they develop a connection
Or at least that's what I hear
And these 2 tiny little electrons
discover harmony
They match each other's vibrations
at the exact same frequency

Some say it's teleportation
others telepathy
or maybe telecommunication
But I've got another theory

Maybe it's love

Now if you separate these electrons
over distances so great
they won't break their connection
they won't forget their mate
They continue to feel each other
like they did when they were tight
And the speed of communication
is faster than light

Some say it's teleportation
others telepathy
or maybe telecommunication
But I've got another theory

Maybe it's love

You might might not like my theory
maybe it's too mundane
Love is a force of nature
too powerful to explain
But just because you know how
doesn't mean that you know why
And even the things that we can see
have the power to mystify

Some say it's god-given
others destiny
or maybe chemical signals
But it might be all these things

Maybe it's love
