Ah yes, so, similar to how womens' periods synchronize up when they live together...Studies of couples show that when in a state of rapport, of emotional empathy, heart rates become matched and that they become mismatched when out of rapport: http://www.futurity.org/heart-beats-sync-up-in-romantic-couples/ http://www.futurity.org/heart-beats-sync-up-in-romantic-coup... Yeah I would probably not take that quote 'Truly beat as one' literally, I mean, I'm betting the heart rates in the study aren't as precise as to say... a distributed real-time system written in go /joke :)

It's not the "beat as one" I object to, it's the "quantum entanglement".

  Oh, Rats! Well when speaking about quantum entanglement, we (as Naive realists on HN (see my profile)) should just ignore it for the next 2000 years, hopefully by then physicists will have a definitive yes or no answer for that domain. Like an unfortunate cardamon seed in our tasty sweet rice kheer, I guess just navigate around it and enjoy everything else presented in the book with a back-up-with-references-from-pub-meds-from-the-last-40-years format.

    All right, all right :) I'm adding it to my list.
