Ohhhhh... so it's about the amount of energy needed to get somewhere. And that's not just "intuitive", its' actually mathematically correct?

One thing the cox "lecture for the stars" or whatever, helped me finally understand is they say "all electrons everywhere are connected". I don't really *get* it, but at least it doesn't sound as out of the ass as it did before. all electrons, everywhere must operate as a different energy level (this is the part I didn't get -- why??) so if i change the energy level of one, the entire universe's must shift, at least fractionally, in response.

i'm not sure I "buy" it, cause why must everything, everywhere hum at a different frequency, but at least it has a theory i can say "ah." to. rather than just hearing Al-Khalili say "QM is freaky, every election is connected to every other one - communicating" which just sounded way too magical and wooie.
