It has been called the most mysterious concept in all science. Einstein himself referred to it (in absolute bewilderment) as “spukhafte Fernwirkungen” - literally, "spooky action at a distance". In THE GOD EFFECT, Brian Clegg casts light on quantum entanglement in a very well-received new book from St Martins Press.

"Clegg does an excellent job of explaining this complex situation in nontechnical terms" says PUBLISHERS WEEKLY. "He details the many experiments that have consistently suggested that entanglement is real. The implications for future technological advances are huge, and Clegg is at his finest as he embeds potential advances in a broad historical context. Data could be encrypted in unbreakable codes; computers could become thousands of times more powerful than today; objects, and maybe even living organisms, could be instantaneously transported. While highly speculative, these possibilities could change our notion of reality.”

"This is a delightful book" says Professor Artur Ekert, Leigh Trapnell Professor of Quantum Physics at Cambridge University. "The author does a superb job of presenting the story of a remarkable concept – quantum entanglement – in a relaxed and entertaining style. He succeeds admirably in steering the reader through a number of mind boggling features of the quantum world and their fascinating applications."

"A masterful account of the phenomenon Einstein thought so crazy it could not possibly be true (Only it is!)"says Marcus Chown, author of The Universe Next Door.
