One of the most unfathomable mysteries of quantum physics... could the answer be much closer than ever we thought?

This is a delightful account of one of the deepest and most fascinating explorations going on today at the frontier of our knowledge." --Carlo Rovelli, bestselling author of The Order of Time and Seven Brief Lessons on Physics "Musser knows that the point of popular science is [. . .] to get a sense of what's at stake, what kinds of answers are being offered to difficult questions, and why it all matters. One could not ask more of Putting Ours...

A revelatory exploration of why a "theory of everything" is likely to depend on a theory of mindThe whole goal of physics is to explain what we observe. For centuries, physicists believed that observations yielded faithful representations of what is out there. But when they began to study the subatomic realm, they found that observation often interferes with what is being observed-that the act of seeing changes what we see. The same is true of...

This book surveys the science at a semipopular, Scientific American-level. It is even-handed with regard to competing directions of research and philosophical positions. It is hard to get even two people to agree on anything, yet a million billion water molecules can suddenly and abruptly coordinate to lock themselves into an ice crystal or liberate one another to billow outwards as steam. The marvelous self-organizing capacity of matter is on...

Physicists have discovered a phenomenon that operates outside the confines of space and time: nonlocality - the ability of two particles to act in harmony no matter how far apart they may be. If space isn't what we thought it was, then what is it? In Spooky Action at a Distance, the journalist George Musser sets out to answer that question.

Were living in the midst of a scientific revolution, as scientists attempt to develop a theory of everything that will explain the laws of the universe from the smallest particle to the largest frontier. Here, listeners will learn the ideas behind the theories and their effects upon our world, our civilization, and ourselves.

Long-listed for the 2016 PEN/E. O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award"An important book that provides insight into key new developments in our understanding of the nature of space, time and the universe. It will repay careful study." -John Gribbin, The Wall Street Journal "An endlessly surprising foray into the current mother of physics' many knotty mysteries, the solving of which may unveil the weirdness of quantum particles, black holes, ...
