DESCRIPTION:
Einstein's steadfast refusal to accept certain aspects of quantum theory was rooted in his insistence that physics has to be about reality. Accordingly, he once derided as spooky action at a distance the notion that two elementary particles far removed from each other could nonetheless influence each others properties - a hypothetical phenomenon his fellow theorist Erwin Schrodinger termed quantum entanglement.In a series of ingenious experiments conducted in various locations - from a dank sewage tunnel under the Danube River to the balmy air between a pair of mountain peaks in the Canary Islands - the author and his colleagues have demonstrated the reality of such entanglement using photons, or light quanta, created by laser beams. In principle, the lessons learned may be applicable in other areas, including the eventual development of quantum computers.
The implications for modern physics, post Einstein's Relativity, are profound. "Dance of the Photons" is a remarkable book. I recommend it to all who have an interest in modern physics. Surprisingly, it requires very little modern physdics background, being written for non professional readers. The world appears on the threshhold of a huge and fundamental breakthrough in fundamental physics, the most fundamental in the history of theoretical physics, being led by the Institute located in Vienna (Austria). For y. "A wonderful book that clearly describes for the layman the profound mystery and significance of quantum mechanics" according to Carter Bancroft. This is a beautifully written book, describing for the layman the central mystery of quantum mechanics- Entanglement. Zeilinger also describes how an extremely insightful physicist, John Bell, figured how to do something extremely unusual; i.e., to employ actual scientific experiments to answer deep philosophical questions about the nature of reality and causality. The basic scientific question Bell figured out how to address was: Do. "The great Observer is the Father in heaven!" according to John L. The first book God used to start me on the path to Yeshua's light in His glory! Yehway is the great observer which keeps all the known existence from blinking out of existent.
