Once two particles are entangled, a change to one of them is reflected---\u003ci\u003einstantly---\u003c\/i\u003ein the other, be they in the same lab or light-years apart. So counterintuitive is this phenomenon and its implications that Einstein himself called it spooky and thought that it would lead to the downfall of quantum theory. Yet scientists have since discovered that quantum entanglement, the God Effect, was one of Einstein's few---and perhaps one of his greatest---mistakes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eWhat does it mean\u003c\/i\u003e? The possibilities offered by a fuller understanding of the nature of entanglement read like something out of science fiction: communications devices that could span the stars, codes that cannot be broken, computers that dwarf today's machines in speed and power, teleportation, and more. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe God Effect\u003c\/i\u003e, veteran science writer Brian Clegg has written an exceptionally readable and fascinating (and equation-free) account of entanglement, its history, and its application. Fans of Brian Greene and Amir Aczel and those interested in the marvelous possibilities coming down the quantum physics road will find much to marvel, illuminate, and delight.\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA marvelously clear and engaging account of the people and ideas involved in trying to understand the deepest mysteries of the quantum world and convert them into a useful technology.\u003cbr\u003e---Gregory Chaitin, author of \u003ci\u003eMeta\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e Math!
