I'm feeling a bit philosophical today.
"All things are connected"
It is a statement that everyone has heard. People have believed it for thousands of years. This statement is true, and what's more it can be proven. Not through faith, but with physics.
To begin with, we start with gravity. Everyone believes in gravity. There is no need for faith in gravity, because we can observe it, measure it. Now, travel back a moment to highschool physics class. Many of you should remember this formual: F=(G*m1*m2)/r^2. Where F is the gravitational effect between two objects, G is a constant, m1 is the mass of one object and m2 the mass of the other, and r^2 is the distance between the two objects squared.
The only time two objects have no effect on each other is when F=0. And the only situations where F=0 is either A. where the mass of an object is equal to zero, which means it does not exist since all objects have mass. Or B. the two objects must be placed infintely far apart (any number divided by infite is equal to zero, any number divided by zero is equal to infinite). Since it is impossible to place objects infinitely far apart, F will never equal zero, therefor all objects have an effect on one another.
Quite literally, everything that you do affects the entire universe...
