Love, Interstellar & Quantum Entanglement: Is Love Actually Information?
What if love isn’t just a feeling, but a form of data from a higher dimension? In this season finale, I invite Jeanne Mayell back to the podcast to pick up where we left off in Episode #4. Jeanne is an intuitive counselor and author who gives private life readings and helps people develop their intuitive abilities. In our first conversation, we explored how intuition works. But Jeanne felt we hadn’t fully addressed the most important question: What is the mechanism behind intuition? Her answer: quantum entanglement.
Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon in physics where two particles become connected in such a way that the state of one instantly influences the other, no matter how far apart they are. Einstein famously called it “spooky action at a distance.” Jeanne believes this same force connects us to each other, and that it’s the mechanism that drives intuition. As she put it in an email: “It’s the phenomenon that tells us we are not separate.” But she also wanted to talk about something else: love. She calls it “the battery power within us that makes separation disappear.”
I couldn’t stop thinking about this idea after our exchange. It reminded me of a scene in the movie Interstellar, where Anne Hathaway’s character argues that love might be more than an emotion; it could be information, an artifact of a higher dimension we can’t consciously perceive. In the scene, three astronauts are deciding which of two distant planets to visit. Both planets could sustain human life, but the data slightly favors one. Hathaway’s character, however, is drawn to the other planet, because the man she loves is there. She speculates that this pull, this love, might be telling her something true about which planet they should choose. It’s not rational, not objective, but she trusts it.
So, is love information? Could quantum entanglement explain how we’re connected to the people we care about, even across distance or death? And what does any of this have to do with intuition?
In this episode, we discuss:
• Quantum entanglement and how it might drive intuition
• Whether love could be a form of data or information
• The Interstellar scene where Anne Hathaway’s character argues that love transcends time and space
• What happens to the “information” of love after someone dies
• Why Jeanne believes we are not separate and what connects us
• The spark or recognition you feel when you meet someone you’ll come to love
This is a conversation about the invisible forces that bind us together, and whether science and intuition might be describing the same thing.
