An exploration of quantum entanglement and the ways in which it contradicts our everyday assumptions about the ultimate nature of reality.

Quantum physics is notable for its brazen defiance of common sense. (Think of Schr dinger's Cat, famously both dead and alive.) An especially rigorous form of quantum contradiction occurs in experiments with entangled particles. Our common assumption is that objects have properties whether or not anyone is observing them, and the measurement of one can't affect the other. Quantum entanglement--called by Einstein "spooky action at a distance"--rejects this assumption, offering impeccable reasoning and irrefutable evidence of the opposite. Is quantum entanglement mystical, or just mystifying? In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Jed Brody equips readers to decide for themselves. He explains how our commonsense assumptions impose constraints--from which entangled particles break free.

Brody explores such concepts as local realism, Bell's inequality, polarization, time dilation, and special relativity. He introduces readers to imaginary physicists Alice and Bob and their photon analyses; points out that it's easier to reject falsehood than establish the truth; and reports that some physicists explain entanglement by arguing that we live in a cross-section of a higher-dimensional reality. He examines a variety of viewpoints held by physicists, including quantum decoherence, Niels Bohr's Copenhagen interpretation, genuine fortuitousness, and QBism. This relatively recent interpretation, an abbreviation of "quantum Bayesianism," holds that there's no such thing as an absolutely accurate, objective probability "out there," that quantum mechanical probabilities are subjective judgments, and there's no "action at a distance," spooky or otherwise.

Tight in shoulders
Its a good shirt, but tight in the shoulders from the get go. Hang dry and don't use a dryer for it. It shrank on low heat. No longer usable. Order a size up from what you are for better fitting.

Well made, great fabric, very tailored look.
Color: Blue, Size: Medium
Really well made shirt! The pattern is perfectly matched all the way around, which you don’t often see. Nice flannel, perfect weight. soft but crisp and manly fabric and buttons are very good quality. Washes really well without fading or wrinkling and the collar stays crisp which is hard to find today! My son loves this so much we bought it in several colors.

Great Fit & Colors!
Color: Black Pink Plaid, Size: Medium
I ordered 3 of these shirts and am very pleased with them. I wear a Medium and the fit was true (5'7" 155 lbs.) The colors are really nice as well, not overly bright and remind of my favorite shirts that are old and faded and feel great to wear. I do worry as to whether or not these shirts will pill easily. I don't believe they will, but only time will tell. I do like these very much and will order a few more in different colors.
