Relativity Science & Technology
Paperback. A brilliant theoretical physicist argues that the solution to the ultimate question in science: how to unify Einstein's theory of general relativity with quantum mechanics, is possible only if we abolish time from the foundations of the universe. In other words, despite our deepest intuitions, time does not exist. Num Pages: 384 pages, 50 illustrations. BIC Classification: PD; PGK; PGZ; PHQ; PHR. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 197 x 129 x 25. Weight in Grams: 276.

Paperback. 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 journalist George Musser sets out to answer that question.
