Summary:
"What is entanglement? It's a connection between quantum particles,
the building blocks of the universe. Once two particles are
entangled, a change to one of them is reflected - instantly - in the
other, be they in the same lab or light-years apart. So
counterintuitive is this phenomenon and its implications that
Einstein himself called it "spooky" and thought that it would lead to
the downfall of quantum theory. Yet scientists have since discovered
that quantum entanglement, the "God Effect," was one of Einstein's
few - and perhaps one of his greatest - mistakes." "In The God
Effect, veteran science writer Brian Clegg has written an
equation-free account of entanglement, its history, and its
application. Fans of Brian Greene and Amir Aczel and those interested
in the marvelous possibilities coming down the quantum road will find
it hard to stop reading."--BOOK JACKET.
