Like all things in the universe, we are destined from birth to diverge. Time is simply the yardstick of our separation. If we are particles in a sea of distance, exploded from an original whole, then there is a science to our solitude. We are lonely in proportion to our years.

Summary

This quote suggests that it is inevitable for individuals to grow apart over time, just as everything in the universe eventually diverges. Time is seen as a measure of how much distance and separation there is between us. By comparing ourselves to particles that were once part of a whole, it implies that there is a scientific pattern behind our individual journeys and feelings of loneliness. As we age and accumulate years, our solitude increases in proportion.
