I wondered in the past if the universe existed beyond our observational space.

The 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Alain Aspect, John Clauser, and Anton Zeilinger for their groundbreaking experiments with entangled particles, which have fundamentally challenged our understanding of reality. 
Their work provided compelling evidence against local realism—the idea that particles have definite properties and are only influenced by their immediate surroundings. Through meticulous experiments, they demonstrated that entangled particles remain interconnected regardless of the distance separating them, such that the state of one instantaneously influences the state of the other. This phenomenon, known as quantum entanglement, suggests that unobserved particles do not possess definite properties until measured, implying that reality is, in some respects, indeterminate until observed. 
From a quantum physicist’s perspective, these findings have profound implications for the field of quantum mechanics and the development of quantum technologies. The ability to manipulate and control entangled particles paves the way for advancements in quantum computing, secure communication, and enhanced measurement techniques. The experimental validation of quantum entanglement also reinforces the non-local nature of quantum mechanics, challenging classical intuitions about the separability and independence of distant objects.
From a mystic’s viewpoint, the interconnectedness revealed by quantum entanglement resonates with ancient philosophical and spiritual concepts of unity and the profound interrelation of all things. The idea that particles can influence each other instantaneously across vast distances mirrors the mystical notion that the universe is a cohesive whole, where every part is intrinsically linked to every other. This convergence of modern physics and timeless wisdom invites a deeper contemplation of the nature of reality, consciousness, and the universe’s underlying unity.
In essence, the Nobel-recognized work of Aspect, Clauser, and Zeilinger not only advances scientific understanding but also bridges the gap between empirical science and philosophical inquiry, offering a more nuanced appreciation of the enigmatic and interconnected fabric of reality.
