Entanglement : The Greatest Mystery in Physics

Published by John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2002, softcover, index, illustrated, 284 pages, condition: as new.

From the bestselling author of Fermat's Last Theorem, the story of a group of scientists who set out to finish what Einstein started.

Can two particles become inextricably linked, so that a change in one is instantly reflected in its counterpart, even if a universe separates them? Albert Einstein's work suggested it was possible, but it was too bizarre, and too contrary to how we then understood space and time, for him to prove. No one could. Until now.

Entanglement tells the astounding story of the scientists who set out to complete Einstein's work. With accessible language and a highly entertaining tone, Amir Aczel shows us a world where the improbable-from unbreakable codes to teleportation-becomes possible.
