Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Longlisted For The 2016 Pen/E. O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Awarddelightfully Readable, Spooky Action At A Distance Is A Mindbending Voyage To The Frontiers Of Modern Physics That Will Change The Way We Think About Reality.What Is Space? It Isn'T A Question That Most Of Us Normally Ask. Space Is The Venue Of Physics; It'S Where Things Exist, Where They Move And Take Shape. Yet Over The Past Few Decades, Physicists Have Discovered A Phenomenon That Operates Outside The Confines Of Space And Time: Nonlocalitythe Ability Of Two Particles To Act In Harmony No Matter How Far Apart They May Be. It Appears To Be Almost Magical.Einstein Grappled With This Oddity And Couldn'T Come To Terms With It, Describing It As Spooky Action At A Distance. More Recently, The Mystery Has Deepened As Other Forms Of Nonlocality Have Been Uncovered. This Strange Occurrence, Which Has Direct Connections To Black Holes, Particle Collisions, And Even The Workings Of Gravity, Holds The Potential To Undermine Our Most Basic Understandings Of Physical Reality. If Space Isn'T What We Thought It Was, Then What Is It?In Spooky Action At A Distance, George Musser Sets Out To Answer That Question, Offering A Provocative Exploration Of Nonlocality And A Celebration Of The Scientists Who Are Trying To Explain It. Musser Guides Us On An Epic Journey Into The Lives Of Experimental Physicists Observing Particles Acting In Tandem, Astronomers Finding Galaxies That Look Statistically Identical, And Cosmologists Hoping To Unravel The Paradoxes Surrounding The Big Bang. He Traces The Often Contentious Debates Over Nonlocality Through Major Discoveries And Disruptions Of The Twentieth Century And Shows How Scientists Faced With The Same Undisputed Experimental Evidence Develop Wildly Different Explanations For That Evidence. Their Conclusions Challenge Our Understanding Of Not Only Space And Time But Also The Origins Of The Universeand They Suggest A New Grand Unified Theory Of Physics.An Important Book That Provides Insight Into Key New Developments In Our Understanding Of The Nature Of Space, Time And The Universe. It Will Repay Careful Study.
