Use of Quantum Sensors at Megalithic Sites

"Reaches of our reality—what was once hidden—now emerge from the darkness."

The quantum: that pesky stuff hiding sub-atomically. Our world is made up of matter, and that matter is made up of atoms. If we were to grab our tape measure, the quantum space deals with matter smaller than what is between the lines—smaller than the atom. That is smaller than an organ, smaller than a cell, smaller than an organelle, smaller than a protein—smaller than… well, you get the picture. It is pretty damn small. So small, in fact, we are only just now, in the mighty 21st century, able to get a sneak peek at what is going on down there. The picture, however, is still pretty blurry.

Brush aside all those “smaller thans,” and we get back to where we need to be. Subatomic particles, from the elementary electron to the nuclei-bound neutron, from the positively heavy proton to the infinite smallness of the building blocks of quarks and gluons, are all, as you may expect, very difficult to see.

Quantum physics—a system of thinking about and exploring these incomprehensible yet fundamental processes of reality—is one branch of science designed to do just that: see. Attempts to map this uncharted space of existence are now coming hard and fast as modern advancements in technology bridge fields including science, mathematics and computing power.

When Plato envisioned his Platonic forms, he was brushing up against our most fundamental reality. Well over 2,000 years later, we are only just developing the observational tools necessary to see these forms—these subatomic structures—that ancient sage-philosophers seemed to have always known were around us. How? To the best of our knowledge, they had no means of observing these phenomena.

This is an interesting point which is worth stressing: how did these ancient minds know there was something in this space, without any viable means of observing it? From the Platonic School of Thought to Newton's infamous falling apple moment, our species appears to have sat back and wondered about forces originating from the quantum level (even if not implicitly) for millennia. But where did these ideas come from? How did they manifest? This type of work is characterized by myriad questions with scant solutions.

In post-modernity, the trickle-down effect has led to the buzzing of phrases like quantum-computing or quantum-entanglement into the mainstream zeitgeist of cultural memeification. The fact that these are buzzwords to most of us points to the space that we inhabit. As a collective we are still in that exciting, yet frustrating, phase of knowing something exists but not having the ability to understand it at the necessarily deep level. Our tools have yet to catch up with our imaginations. But we are close. We are very close.
