Red Light Lit: Quantum Entanglement

Red Light Lit is thrilled to be part of the Jewish Community Center’s UNINHIBITED: ABOUT SEX series. Smack in the middle of a progressive city known for its pride and sex-positivity, the JCCSF offers a safe space to explore topics that matter – in this case sex, in all of its fascinating and multifaceted glory.

Our theme for the evening explores the magic of Quantum Entanglement. Listen to special guest, the 2016 Oregon Book Award finalist, Nick Jaina, read from his memoir “Get It While You Can” and play music alongside Bay Area Writers Lisa Alden, Peter Bullen, Loria Mendoza, Dirk Petersen, Xan Roberti, and Katie Wheeler-Dubin as they play off Jaina’s love letter with musical acommpanment by Cellista, Sarah Dineen, and David Williams. Hosted by Jenn Stokes and featuring comedian Luna Malbroux.

“Do you know about quantum entanglement? It’s when you have two particles that have interacted in some special way (I can’t figure out exactly what special way, because all the writing on this subject is by physicists and they speak about these things very unsentimentally.) But these particles interact somehow and effect each other so much that if you separate them, their movements continue to correlate to each other. You could be in Los Angeles with one of these particles and I could be in New York, and if your particle spins a certain way, my particle will spin that way too. And this connection happens instantaneously, which is to say that it’s faster than the speed of light. It happens with bigger collections of particles too, like diamonds.”
