Let Quantum Physics Officiate Your Wedding

The ceremony, developed by conceptual artist, Jonathon Keats, is borrowed from quantum physics, where when two or more subatomic particles become entangled, they behave as one. Keats has designed an entangling apparatus, which, when situated in a sunny window and exposed to the full spectrum of solar radiation divides pairs of entangled photons and translates them to the bodies of a nearby couple. A scenario might go like this, said Keats in an email correspondence with Discovery News about his project: In the simplest case, involving only two people, the couple begins by walking down a long hallway from darkness into sunlight.

(The hallway is wide enough for them to walk side by side, but too narrow to accommodate more than two people at a time.)
