The authors show that a generalized principle of complementarity is pervasive not only in physical theories such as cosmological models of the universe but also in the constructions of all human realities. They suggest that consciousness can no longer be divorced from the problem of the way science operates. The book concludes by making the case that this realization entails a new way of understanding the universe that could obviate much of the current conflict between science and religion, while providing at the same time a basis for valuation that is better suited for coordinating all human experience. - Back cover.

Work Description
"This book explores the implications for physics and philosophy of a strange new fact of nature: that particles can be "entangled" over enormous distances, and that measurements made on such entangled particles in one place can have an instantaneous effect in another. Such interactions seem to (but actually do not, as the authors show) violate the principle that nothing can move faster than the speed of light, which is why Einstein called them "spooky interactions at a distance.""--BOOK JACKET.
"The authors provide the necessary background to understand these "nonlocal" interactions, and explain the experiments that confirmed their existence."--BOOK JACKET.
