Magical Realism and Quantum Physics :: Magical Realism Literature

sorcerous Realism and Quantum PhysicsThe termination supernatural Realism is said to render started with the German art tyro Franz Roh, who used the trem to describe the return of art to Realism from Expressionism. The term supernatural Realism has also been used to categorize some the novels and short stories of authors much(prenominal) as Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Gunter Grass, and John Fowls. These writers use techniques that combine the real and unreal in ways that make them believable and acceptable by both the lector and characters in the stories. These techniques also can be said to correspond with palm of study such as quantum physics.One of these techniques that can be connected to the field of quantum physics is the closeness or near- merge of two realms, two worlds (Faris). This technique was used in Gabriel Marquezs short story Light is Like piss when the two brothers Toto and Joel used a metaphor to make the two realms of belief and reality be arise close to o ne another. According to some quantum physicists, this merging could theoretically authorize.If quantum physicists were to read Light is Like Water, I believe that they would come to the conclusion that a wormhole had opened between two existing couple universes and allowed such an event to take place. In his book HYPERSPACE A scientific Odyssey Through Parallel Universes, Time Warps, and the Tenth Dimension Michio Kaku states thatNormally, life subject on each of these parallel planes independent of the others. On rare occasions, however, the planes whitethorn intersect and, for a brief moment, tear the fabric of space itself, which opens up a hole- or gateway- between these two universes. (23)This intersecting of planes of existence seems to have happened in Light is Like Water.I believe the reason that Magical Realism has become such a popular genre is because the events that happen are believable and can be done without the aid of machines. Magical Realism also gives people a break from reality without truly leaving the reality that they have come to know and trust. It also gives a look at things that we have overlooked in our busy lives.
