Relativity Science & Technology
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. Num Pages: 304 pages, 13 black and white illustrations, 2 tables, notes, bibliography, index. BIC Classification: PDZ; PGK; PHQ; PHR. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 141 x 210 x 2.
