Download Spooky Action at a Distance: The Phenomenon That Reimagines Space and Time-and What It Means for Black Holes, the Big Bang, and Theories of Everything AudioBook Free
What's space? It isn't a question that most of us normally stop to ask. Space is the place of physics; it's where things can be found, where they move and take form. Yet within the last few generations, physicists have found out a occurrence that operates outside the confines of space and time. The occurrence - the power of 1 particle to influence another instantly across the vastness of space - appears to be almost wonderful. Einstein grappled with this oddity and couldn't quite take care of it, talking about it as "spooky action far away". But this bizarre occurrence has direct connections to dark-colored slots, particle collisions, and even the workings of gravity. If space isn't what we thought it was, then the facts? In Spooky Action at a Distance, George Musser models out to answer that question, offering a provocative exploration of nonlocality and a party of the researchers who are trying to understand it. Musser tutorials us on an epic voyage of scientific breakthrough into the lives of experimental physicists observing particles acting in tandem, astronomers sensing galaxies that look statistically indistinguishable, and cosmologists hoping to unravel the paradoxes bordering the big bang. Their conclusions issue our understanding not only of space and time but of the roots of the universe - and their insights are spurring profound technological innovation and suggesting a new grand unified theory of physics.
