Two Moon Junction Quotes

Do you have a driver's license?" "Of course," she said, not knowing if it was true or not. She was already sitting behind the steering wheel. He tossed her the keys and she turned the ignition as he climbed into the car. She pressed hard on the gas pedal and the car shrieked away from the curb. The back end fishtailed. She needed to get to school quickly and find some answers. She had a feeling that Catty wasn't going to last long in that place. The light turned yellow ahead of her. "Slow down!" Derek shouted as the car in front of them stopped for the light. She didn't let up. "You're going to rear-end it!" Derek cried, and his foot pressed the floor as if he were trying to work an invisible brake. She jerked the steering wheel, swerved smoothly around the car, and blasted through the intersection, ignoring the flurry of horns and screeching tires. Derek snapped his seat belt in place. "Why are you in such a hurry to get to school?" "Geometry test," she answered, and buzzed around two more cars. At the next junction she needed to make a left-hand turn, but the line of traffic waiting for the green arrow would delay her too long. She continued in her lane, and when she reached the intersection, she turned in front of the car with the right-of-way. Angry honks followed her as she blasted onto the next street. "We've got time, Tianna!" Derek yelled. "School doesn't start for another fifteen minutes." Would fifteen minutes give her enough time to get the answers she needed? She didn't think so. She pressed her foot harder on the accelerator. The school was at least a mile away, but if she ignored the next light and the next, then maybe she could get there with enough time to question Corrine. She didn't think her powers were strong enough to change the lights and she didn't want to chance endangering other drivers, but she was sure she could at least slow down the cross traffic. She concentrated on the cars zooming east and west on Beverly Boulevard in front of her without slowing her speed. "Tianna!" Derek yelled. "You've got a red light!" She squinted and stalled a Jaguar in the crosswalk. Cars honked impatiently behind the car, and when a Toyota tried to speed around it, she stopped it, too. She could feel the pressure building inside her as she made a Range Rover and a pick-up slide to a halt. She shot through the busy intersection against the light. Derek turned back. "You've got to be the luckiest person in the world.

The smallest unit of matter is an atom, which is made of particles. Einstein and Schrödinger theorized there was a connection between entangled particles, even though they couldn’t detect one. Scientists have recently proved their theory correct by photographing two particles of light that were entangled. Using a beam splitter, scientists sent two entangled particles of light down a tube where, at a junction, they were split apart and then photographed. Although they had been separated, both entangled particles were positioned at zero degrees, and they looked like mirror images of a crescent moon facing each other, proving that they were somehow still connected. Then the scientists repeated the experiment but changed the orientation of one entangled particle to forty-five degrees, and its entangled twin instantaneously corresponded, matching its forty-five-degree orientation. Again, they repeated the experiment, orienting one entangled particle ninety degrees and one hundred thirty-five degrees, and the entangled twin instantaneously corresponded regardless of the distance between the entangled particles!” “That would explain the connection people have with one another!” Isaac said. “Since we’re all made of a zillion particles, then some of our particles might be entangled with particles of people we love. This would explain why one entangled person sometimes gets a gut feeling or premonition about their entangled loved one. They might share an invisible connection, regardless of how far apart they are. They remain connected through entanglement—not even death can separate them! This must be the case with my mom and me.” “That would also explain the special bond I share with Mable,” Melba said, referencing her sister who was still alive. She smiled. “We’re entangled twins.” “That’s pretty awesome,” Shane said. “But, Isaac, if you’re right, then we could argue that we’re all connected through entanglement— not just some of us.
