It  treats a puzzling and provocative aspect of recent quantum physics:  the apparent interaction of certain physical events that cannot share  any causal connection. These are said to be `entangled' in some way,  but an explanation remains elusive. Abner Shimony - to whom the  book is dedicated - and others suggest the need to revive the  category of what may be seen as a metaphysical potentiality. Abner has  described these events without actions to link them as `passion at a  distance': not active, but passive. The discussions gathered here are  written by a truly remarkable cast of scientists and philosophers and  shed new light on the most profound puzzles of our times.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-12-04\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789048148097\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-017-2732-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 276\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45378519990412,"sku":"9789048148097","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789048148097.jpg?v=1772024605","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789048148097","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
