Description
Over the past few decades physicists have discovered a phenomenon that operates outside the confines of space and time. Nonlocality is the ability of two particles to act in harmony no matter how far apart they may be. Einstein grappled with this oddity and couldn't come to terms with it, calling it 'spooky action at a distance'. This strange occurrance, 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. Author George Musser offers a provocative exploration of nonlocality and a celebratioin of the scientists who are trying to explain it.
