Explaining the Principles of Quantum Mechanics through Consciousness-Only Theory

Quantum mechanics describes: a stationary particle decays, producing two photons that travel in opposite directions over extremely long distances. When one photon is measured or interacted with, the other photon responds accordingly. Why is this?

Because the two photons share the same origin, emerging from the same particle. This particle is composed of the four great elements from one Tathāgatagarbha. Between these four great elements exists an intimate connection, regardless of the distance separating them. In reality, the space between the two photons is void, and this void is composed of the element of space. The element of space fundamentally does not exist; it has no distance, it is nothing at all. Therefore, there is no concept of distance between the two photons. No matter how far apart they are separated in the conventional physical realm, they essentially still belong to the same particle, the same Tathāgatagarbha, possessing the same function and effect. Hence, when one changes, the other undergoes the same change—because they share the same origin.

Furthermore, the material of the entire world is formed by the combination of the four great elements from sentient beings with shared karma. Naturally, there are intimate connections between them, potentially causing a slight move to affect everything else. However, this intimacy is far less profound than the connection between photons from the same particle. Since the void and space have no inherent reality, no inherent nature, then does time truly exist? In truth, each of us, with just a little more exertion of effort, could attain emptiness. Why, then, is this effort so difficult to exert? When will we be able to exert it?
