An eccentric comic about the central mystery of quantum mechanics
Totally Random is a comic for the serious reader who wants to
really understand the central mystery of quantum
mechanics--entanglement: what it is, what it means, and what you
can do with it. Measure two entangled particles separately, and the
outcomes are totally random. But compare the outcomes, and the
particles seem as if they are instantaneously influencing each
other at a distance-even if they are light-years apart. This, in a
nutshell, is entanglement, and if it seems weird, then this book is
for you. Totally Random is a graphic experiential narrative that
unpacks the deep and insidious significance of the curious
correlation between entangled particles to deliver a gut-feel
glimpse of a world that is not what it seems. See for yourself how
entanglement has led some of the greatest thinkers of our time to
talk about crazy-sounding stuff like faster-than-light signaling,
many worlds, and cats that are both dead and alive. Find out why it
remains one of science's most paradigm-shaking discoveries. Join
Niels Bohr's therapy session with the likes of Einstein,
Schroedinger, and other luminaries and let go of your commonsense
notion of how the world works. Use your new understanding of
entanglement to do the seemingly impossible, like beat the odds in
the quantum casino, or quantum encrypt a message to evade the
Sphinx's all-seeing eye. But look out, or you might just get
teleported back to the beginning of the book! A fresh and
subversive look at our quantum world with some seriously funny
stuff, Totally Random delivers a real understanding of entanglement
that will completely change the way you think about the nature of
physical reality.
