"A marvelously clear and engaging account of the people and ideas involved in trying to understand the deepest mysteries of the quantum world and convert them into a useful technology." ---Gregory Chaitin, author of" ""Meta"" Math! The Quest for Omega" "If you thought science was a predictable commonsense business---maybe even a little dull---you haven't encountered quantum entanglement. A physical phenomenon so strange and all pervasive that this book calls it the 'God Effect, ' entanglement leaves common sense shattered." ---from "The God Effect" " " If you've ever wondered whether mankind might someday communicate across the vast distances between the stars, develop codes that cannot be broken, devise computers that would make finding a needle in a haystack trivial, or even learn to create teleportation, then the amazing science portrayed in Brian Clegg's "The God Effect" will astound and fascinate with its portrayal of a universe---our own---so strange that imagination can scarcely suffice to grasp it.Clegg, Brian is the author of 'God Effect Quantum Entanglement, Sciences's Strangest Phenomenon', published 2006 under ISBN 9780312343415 and ISBN 0312343418.
