My First Book Review for the Brown Alumni Magazine
Over the past century, scientists have puzzled over a curious phenomenon that calls into question our basic assumptions about space and time. Nonlocality, the ability of two particles in different places to affect each other instantly, could help physicists better understand black holes, the workings of gravity, and the origin of the universe.George Musser's new book "Spooky Action at a Distance" traces the messy efforts to understand nonlocal phenomena, which can be found in multiple fields of physics.Read my review of Musser's book in the March issue of the Brown Alumni Magazine: Beyond Space and Time.
