Steve asked in another message about where one learns about some of this stuff. As always, "Scientific American" is a good place to look for articles. They've had many articles on Bell's Theorem, nonlocality, the EPR paradox/nonparadox, the Aharanov-Bohm results, and quantum teleportation. A SciAm article will explain, with pictures, in ways we can't here. (Plus the articles are carefully written, by experts--we waste too much time here getting lost in misunderstandings about the meanings of terms of art.) "Science News" is sometimes good, too. And "New Scientist" and "Nature." Any library should have plenty of articles.

I agree with the reference to Sci-Am, with one priviso. A few years ago they put a pair of books on just these topics. They are a collection of articles published over the years and instead of digging through a variety of magazines and such these two will save a lot of time. Particles and Forces: The heart of the matter ISBN 0-7167-2070-1 $11.95 Particle Physics in the Cosmos ISBN 0-7167-1919-3 $9.95 And a much more technical book that I like a lot is: Understanding Quantum Physics: A user's manual M.A. Morrison ISBN 0-13-747908-5 ~$50 Enjoy. ____________________________________________________________________ | | | The most powerful passion in life is not love or hate, | | but the desire to edit somebody elses words. | | | | Sign in Ed Barsis' office | | | | _____ The Armadillo Group | | ,::////;::-.
