This completely rewritten and updated book explores the implications for physics and philosophy of a strange, recently discovered fact of nature: that particles can be "entangled" over enormous distances and that measurements made on one of the entangled particles appears to have instantaneous effects on the other.

More DescriptionThis completely rewritten and updated book explores the implications for physics and philosophy of a strange, recently discovered fact of nature: that particles can be "entangled" over enormous distances and that measurements made on one of the entangled particles appears to have instantaneous effects on the other. Einstein called this "spooky interactions at a distance." The physicist/philosopher author team provides the background and the experiments to understand this phenomenon. They go on to explain the profound implications it has on our understanding of the foundations of physics and on our view of the universe and even the nature of consciousness.
