The latest of many attempts to link subatomic physics to broader human concerns, this brisk, uneven volume splits neatly in two: the first half explains key ideas in quantum physics, and the second makes grand claims about their worth for other fields. Classical physics rules out "action at a distance." (You can't move a billiard ball unless something--a pool cue, an air jet, lightning--contacts it.) But quantum physics permits "non-local" action, and recent experiments prove it: do certain things to one photon, and you'll affect another faster than light can travel between the two.

The Field: The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Audio)
Based on interviews with today's cutting-edge scientists, investigative journalist Lynne McTaggart wrote The Field a compelling presentation of the theory that there is a measurable life force in the universe. Now in this original audio adaptation by the author, McTaggart takes listeners on a journey into this exciting arena of science called the Zero-Point Field that could be the key to understanding supernatural forces, healing energy, and the nature of consciousness.
