It is said that when studying the quantum realms of the universe, you either know where you are, or where you’re going, but you can never know both. This is probably for the best as it leaves a great mystery to the trajectory of our lives. We are flung at birth through the frictionless currents of time with the illusion that we can control the whitewash in which we flow. This is how it was in a small escape room in New Haven on a blind date between two people. I could not have known that afternoon when I had been invited on a blind date by a close friend that the trajectory of my life would change. There I was with Jeannie, trapped in an escape room with two other people, trying to figure out the puzzle. For the record, we did escape that room and went to dinner shortly after. However, it should be noted that she made me wait three days before calling me. We closed down the restaurant, engrossed by each other and the fascinating stories as we described where we were, scarcely aware of where we were going. Over the course of many dates, it mattered less where we were. What came into focus was where we were going. Jeannie, in her endless warmth and kindness, fell in love with my kids and they with her. If there had been firewalls, they were shortly torn down. Where we were going is all I could see. Thus, with the help of her sisters, I picked out a wedding ring and proposed with my kids by my side to Jeannie in the castle at the top of Sleeping Giant. Two years have passed since that wonderful day and Jeannie and I have since bought a home and moved to Georgia. All these uncertainties navigated easily with our new trajectory firmly set. In life, we often face situations where our choices and circumstances interact in complex ways, making it difficult to predict the exact outcome of our decisions. Just as the Uncertainty Principle suggests limits to our knowledge of a particle’s properties, there are limits to our ability to fully control or predict the trajectory of our lives. However, like particles in quantum mechanics, our lives are not entirely chaotic or devoid of order. While there may be inherent uncertainties, I no longer care where I am, only where I am going with her, and that I know for certain.
