Spooky Action at a Distance

the Phenomenon That Reimagines Space and Time--and What It Means for Black Holes, the Big Bang, and Theories of Everything

A great review of physicists' attempts to discover what space is, focusing on the concept of non-locality, sometimes referenced as quantum entanglement. The author does a historical review of action at a distance in the introduction, spends a chapter or two describing non-locality and the debates in the early part of the 20th century, and devotes the rest of the book to discussing advances over the last several decades. He makes it clear that I can never hope to understand the deeper issues, but his presentation is quite lucid and with a fair amount of humor. The footnotes and bibliography occupy nearly 1/4 of the book. I recommend this book to anybody with even a passing interest in the subject.
