Yet over the past few decades, physicists have discovered a
phenomenon that operates outside the confines of space and time:
nonlocality - the ability of two particles to act in harmony no
matter how far apart they may be. If space isn't what we thought it
was, then what is it? In Spooky Action at a Distance, the
award-winning journalist George Musser sets out to answer that
question. He 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 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 the origins of the
universe - and they suggest a new grand unified theory of physics.
