Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Unfortunately this book propagates the same misinformation as many other bad science books such as "The Tao of Physics." These books make a big deal about the nonlocality of quantum physics and about quantum entanglement and the experiments that have proved quantum entanglement. All of this is true. Unfortunately they mislead through omission. Nonlocality and quantum entanglement are very delicate and very rare events. A physicist doing an experiment has to work very hard to keep a quantum entangled system separate from the rest of the universe. Once the system interacts with the rest of the universe, the quantum entanglement vanishes. This is a well-known fact that all first year physics grad students learn. (I should know, I'm a physics professor.) So the whole conceit of the book is wrong. While quantum nonlocality does occur, it is actually very rare and disappears quickly--this is experimentally verified as well--and so the notion of a totally connected universe is a lie and a cheat.
