aspiration Dusk ... is just an illusion, because the sun is either above the horizon or below it. And that means that day and night are linked in a way that few things are; there cannot be one without the other, yet they cannot exist inspired by the following passage:
at the same time. How would it feel ... to be always together, yet forever apart? - Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook

“Quantum
Entanglement
is
a
physical
phenomenon that occurs when pairs or groups of particles are generated or interact in ways such that the quantum state of each particle cannot be described independently of the other, even when the particles are separated by a large distance - instead, a quantum state must be described for the system as a whole.� - Quantum Entanglement in Wikipedia
The being cannot exist without the other. Like the night and day each cannot exist without the other yet they cannot be together at the same time. The flower can not grow without a seed, and a seed cannot grow without a flower, yet they can not exist at the same time. The existence of being is a state of intertwine like quantum entanglement. pg
