I have decided to enter a blog hop hosted by Girlie on the Edge blog. The rules are you write six sentences, no more no less, using the week’s prompt word. This week it’s Matter.

1. I read about entangled particles in quantum physics—about how particles switch from matter to energy and back and how, if they’re entangled, they change simultaneously, even on opposite sides of the universe.

Now, I want to know how those particles/packets of energy keep in touch so they can change at the same time.

3. I’ve also read about matter awareness—studies that show how rats fed brains from other rats taught a maze already know how to get the treat.

4. Suppose, then, that a rabbit dies somewhere on the high plains and particles of its decomposed brain wash down into the Snake River and over the falls where they get caught in an eddy and picked up by the roots of a cedar tree.

5. Suppose further that a storm gallops across the grasslands with its sound and fury unleashing lightning that strikes the cedar, which, being full of resin and all, explodes into flames.

6. Does the fire have any recollection of having been a waterfall?
