Natures wonders: clever tiny wasp controls another (Introduction)

DAVID: BBella is really referring to the quantum connected universe, I'm sure, not what you are discussing.

BBELLA: Yes, that is correct, David, it is what I was referring to.

dhw: I don’t understand what you mean by the “quantum connected universe”. The universe consists of tiny particles and units of energy some of which sometimes behave in ways we do not understand. Why does this suggest interconnectedness, and how can one experience it at such a level? However, the concept of the universe as a living organism is certainly coherent and conceivable, and it fits in nicely with what I see as possible parallels between the microcosm and the macrocosm.

DAVID: Interconnectedness is a major component of quantum discussions. Split a 'particle' and the sisters retain connections for hundreds of miles, and presumably across the universe.

How does that mean that ALL "particles" in the universe, including ourselves and every star in every solar system throughout the universe, are connected?
