Sinossi
Could fiction become reality? Will a time come when we are able to teleport across space or communicate between universes? The lines between science and science fiction are becoming increasingly blurred. When Captain Kirk of Star Trek calls, "Beam me up Scotty" and when the spies in Philip Pulman's "The Amber Spyglass" communicate between universes, both are using the phenomenon known as entanglement. Now quantum mechanics promises that some of our wildest dreams may be realized. Experiments show not only that such bizarre effects might be possible but that they could become reality, perhaps even in our lifetimes.

Dalla seconda/terza di copertina
Scientists working from Einstein′s theories have been investigating the bizarre phenomenon of entanglement, the idea that two subatomic particles in different locations can be linked so that a change in one particle would instantly be reflected in the other, even if separated by a universe. Einstein could not believe that such bizarre effects could be true even though based on his own theories. He famously declared that quantum mechanics could not be correct because God does not play dice. But recent research shows that such effects do happen and could, as our understanding of them grows, transform our lives and our understanding of the universe or universes around us.
