Join Brian Greene on a wild ride into the weird realm of quantum physics, which governs the universe on the tiniest of scales. Greene brings quantum mechanics to life in a nightclub like no other, where objects pop in and out of existence, and things over here can affect others over there, instantaneously and without anything crossing the space between them. A century ago, during the initial shots in the quantum revolution, the best minds of a generation—including Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr—squared off in a battle for the soul of physics. How could the rules of the quantum world, which work so well to describe the behavior of individual atoms and their components, conflict so dramatically with the everyday rules that govern people, planets, and galaxies?
Tänk dig att föremål kan befinna sig på flera ställen samtidigt. I mikrokosmos råder både kaos och en märklig ordning. Kvantfysikens mysterier förbryllar forskarna men väcker också drömmar om framtida superdatorer och möjligheten att teleportera oss från en plats till en annan.
