Story
Every physicist agrees quantum mechanics is among humanity's finest scientific achievements. But ask what it means, and the result will be a brawl. For a century, most physicists have followed Niels Bohr's Copenhagen interpretation and dismissed questions about the reality underlying quantum physics as meaningless. A mishmash of solipsism and poor reasoning, Copenhagen endured, as Bohr's students vigorously protected his legacy, and the physics community favored practical experiments over philosophical arguments.

The Trouble with Physics argues that a limited notion of time is holding physics back. It's time for a major revolution in scientific thought. The reality of time could be the key to the next big breakthrough in theoretical physics. What if the laws of physics themselves were not timeless? What if they could evolve? Time Reborn offers a radical new approach to cosmology that embraces the reality of time and opens up a whole new universe of possibilities.

Carl Zimmer investigates one of the biggest questions of all: What is life? The answer seems obvious until you try to seriously answer it. Is the apple sitting on your kitchen counter alive, or is only the apple tree it came from deserving of the word? If we can’t answer that question here on Earth, how will we know when and if we discover alien life on other worlds? The question hangs over some of society’s most charged conflicts - whether a fertilized egg is a living person, for example, and when we ought to declare a person legally dead.

Sean Carroll, theoretical physicist and one of this world’s most celebrated writers on science, rewrites the history of 20th-century physics. Already hailed as a masterpiece, Something Deeply Hidden shows for the first time that facing up to the essential puzzle of quantum mechanics utterly transforms how we think about space and time. His reconciling of quantum mechanics with Einstein’s theory of relativity changes, well, everything. Most physicists haven’t even recognized the uncomfortable truth: Physics has been in crisis since 1927.

On March 21, 2013, the European Space Agency released a map of the afterglow of the big bang. Taking in 440 sextillion kilometers of space and 13.8 billion years of time, it is physically impossible to make a better map: We will never see the early universe in more detail. On the one hand, such a view is the apotheosis of modern cosmology; on the other, it threatens to undermine almost everything we hold cosmologically sacrosanct.

There was a time when “universe” meant all there is. Everything. Yet, in recent years discoveries in physics and cosmology have led a number of scientists to conclude that our universe may be one among many. With crystal-clear prose and inspired use of analogy, Brian Greene shows how a range of different “multiverse” proposals emerges from theories developed to explain the most refined observations of both subatomic particles and the dark depths of space.

Publisher's Summary
What is space? It isn't a question that most of us normally stop to ask. Space is the venue of physics; it's where things exist, where they move and take shape. Yet over the past few decades, physicists have discovered a phenomenon that operates outside the confines of space and time. The phenomenon - the ability of one particle to affect another instantly across the vastness of space - appears to be almost magical. Einstein grappled with this oddity and couldn't quite resolve it, describing it as "spooky action at a distance". But this strange occurrence has direct connections to black holes, particle collisions, and even the workings of gravity. If space isn't what we thought it was, then what is it?
In Spooky Action at a Distance, George Musser sets out to answer that question, offering a provocative exploration of nonlocality and a celebration of the scientists who are trying to understand it. Musser guides us on an epic journey of scientific discovery into the lives of experimental physicists observing particles acting in tandem, astronomers discovering galaxies that look statistically identical, and cosmologists hoping to unravel the paradoxes surrounding the big bang. Their conclusions challenge our understanding not only of space and time but of the origins of the universe - and their insights are spurring profound technological innovation and suggesting a new grand unified theory of physics.

SPACE AND TIME
“Spooky Action at a Distance” (also called entanglement) collapses the theory of space just as Einstein’s theory of relativity collapsed time. George Musser argues that experimental evidence suggests neither space nor time have form or matter in an Aristotelian sense. Aristotle explains the nature of things by suggesting an object perceived by the senses has form and matter. By Aristotle’s definition, both space and time are perceived by the senses; in other words, they have form and matter. Einstein’s theory shows that time is relative which denies precise form or matter. Time changes based on an observer’s relative location, and the speed of observer and observed.
Musser notes that with the advent of quantum theory, the same holds true for space because of the experimental proof of “Spooky Action at a Distance”. John Stewart Bell and David Bohm note how elemental particles, separated by wide distances, can be manipulated to mimic or oppose each other’s spin. It is as though there is no space between two widely separated particles, one of which is acted on, while the other reacts simultaneously. The reaction is faster than the speed of light. The ramification of this “Spooky Action at a Distance” is that space has no inherent meaning. Both space and time are a fiction created by the senses.
One of many things that are interesting in Musser’s book is that Einstein may have been ahead of Niels Bohr in appreciating Quantum Theory even though the idea set Einstein on edge. There is hope for an undiscovered truth that will bring the nature of things into a theory of everything that is more predictable than the probabilities of quantum mechanics. This may still be a “cause and effect” universe. Maybe Smollin is right and too much research and investment is committed to string theory at the expense of other “theory of everything” ideas.

Inside look at a modern physics debate
When I bought this book I was not sure if it was a crank book. It seemed legit. But I've seen too many crackpot theories and online debates that use unproven physics. I wasn't interested in that.
This book did not let me down. It goes right to the fringes of science (what we know). It takes a hard look at the debate within in physics. It builds the case for non-locality and hologram theories, including quantum loop gravity. But the last chapter makes it clear that these issues are not solved.
The obligatory history of science section was refreshing! We saw familiar characters. But the book showed different parts of their work and conflict with other scientists. Not the same old well known stories. I really learned more about the history of science. At least, as it related to the locality debate. But it filled in a lot of detail around the same people we have heard of before.
Musser worked hard to describe different models of the universe, and did it well. Despite the fact that some ideas are so big it's hard to grasp them. But he repeated the important details. He discussed quantum field theory, but only barely touching on it. He didn't seem to think it was important for the reader to understand it. But I am glad I previously listened to "The Particle and the End of the Universe" which discusses QFT.
This book shows how messy science is. Most people think science is well organized lists, charts and facts. But that's not science. That's established outcomes of science. Real science is about what we haven't established things. When we don't fully understand what is happening. This book looks at the changes that may be coming out of physics over the next few decades.

Rambling but Asks Good Questions
The author rambles quite a bit then, a little tentatively and vaguely, he asks important questions about the universe. He does very little actual explaining in this book, instead he asks scientists these questions and reports the responses. Some responses are understandable and relevant, many others are not. The finest aspect of this book is the good questions it asks:
What exactly is this Spooky Action at a Distance?
How does this work with Quantum Mechanics and Relativity?
How is it different from normal action that can transmit information?
What is local realism and does it really hold?
Is randomness fundamental or an aspect of non-locality?
Are Space and Time fundamental or just interpretations?
Are Continuums fundamental or just interpretations?
Unfortunately there are no answers to these questions in the book and the author seems to revel in the weirdness of modern physics instead of seeking simplicity that might transform the weirdness into the obvious.
I enjoyed this book for the questions, but I was frustrated by the presentation of tricky ideas without context or simplification, the lack of focus or structure, and the anything-goes attitude, where any theory is as good as any other, regardless of how weird it might be.
The narration is quite good keeping a very engaging tone and energy throughout.

Mind boggling
Any additional comments?
An excellent book on a mind-boggling subject. The subject is so mind-boggling that I left the book more profoundly confused about the universe, non-locality, the big bang, and space than when I entered. But it isn't the author's fault. Musser does a wonderful job trying to explain these confounding concepts and theories, but they are ideas that require repeated application and slow digestion. This will definitely be a book I return to at least one more time in an attempt to shoehorn the mind-boggling into my brain. A great book on puzzling and huge ideas.

great but...
George musser is definitely a thoughtful author unfortunately a bit to much so for me every other sentence is a hard to grasp and many times misleading metaphor often he will launch into a metaphor describing some complex principle of space/time without the slightest hint that it is "just a metaphor" and not a continuation of the aforementioned laws and principles he is describing. I was confused many times throughout this book, I have a keen understanding of physics and the history of it yet this book seemed able to baffle me, not for its inaccuracies, but for it's authors seeming obsession with convoluted metaphors that seem even more complex and intricately dependant on fine minutiae than the metaphysics and physics statements being made. that said it is still a great read for those who enjoy listening to a wise man's rambling it reminds me a lot of "PLATO'S REPUBLIC" in the way arguments are made and fleshed out and that is exactly what this book is, a glimpse into George's thoughts, a kind of mental debate he holds within himself about what underpins our universe.

Keeps you hooked, and I have ADHD. It's has slow parts of more known history than science if you already listen to similar books. But he keeps it interesting with broad topics. I thought it was a great book that was a surprise after many less interesting. Will listen too over and over I'm sure.

I reccomend this book by George Musser to anyone with a spark of curiosity for science. I highly suggest Spooky Action at a Distance for the purpose of rereading as I have done multiple times, so it does have that much interesting depth of perception which pertains to physics world. I highly favor this good book.

The Problems at the Edge of Physics.
What made the experience of listening to Spooky Action at a Distance the most enjoyable?
Just finished reading; "Spooky Action at a Distance" by George Musser, my favorite science book for 2015. It talks about the crazy problems at the edges, where science breaks down, and what the big boys and girls are working on to try and patch things together. Scary stuff actually, makes any eastern mysticism seem tame.

Spooky Good Read!
Although the non-physics branches of the science community are slow to wake up and smell the nonlocality, Spooky Action At A Distance might just be the brew to help them wake up from their dreams of Materialistic Determinism, pull back the blankets of Quantum denial, and welcome this bright new (nearly a century-old) day!
