In Decoding Reality, Vlatko Vedral offers a mindstretching look at the deepest questions about the universewhere everything comes from, why things are as they are, what everything is.The most fundamental definition of reality is not matter or energy, he writes, but informationand it is the processing of information that lies at the root of all physical, biological, economic, and social phenomena. This view allows Vedral to address a host of seemingly unrelated questions: Why does DNA bind like it does? What is the ideal diet for longevity? How do you make your first million dollars? We can unify all through the understanding that everything consists of bits of information, he writes, though that raises the question of where these bits come from. To find the answer, he takes us on a guided tour through the bizarre realm of quantum physics. At this subsubsubatomic level, we find such things as the interaction of separated quantum particleswhat Einstein called "spooky action at a distance." In fact, Vedral notes, recent evidence suggests that quantum weirdness, once thought to be limited to the tiniest scale, may actually reach into the macro world and make teleportation a real possibility. It is in quantum physics, he writes, that we really can find the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything.Vlatko Vedral is one of the key researchers in quantum science. In this book, he offers a mindbending account of this leadingedge field.
