Reviews
"Explores the possibility of this bizarre form of travel... A fascinating tale with philosophical and practical musings on the highly unlikely prospect of teleportation of people." ( Science News ) A science fiction staple and a fantasy of those with long commutes, teleportation-sending something from here to there in the blink of an eye-has long seemed likely to remain a fictional construct. But as Darling explains in this marvelous work, teleportation in one form or another has been happening in laboratories for a few years and is on its way to becoming a routine part of life-at least for information. Darling ( Equations of Eternity ) uses lively, companionable prose to explain such heady subjects as quantum mechanics, the property of entanglement (which Einstein referred to as "spooky action at a distance") and information theory. While these concepts appear to fly in the face of reason, the author is able to make sense of them and put them in the context of other new ideas that at first may be impossible to accept. After tracing the history of developments that became key to teleportation, the text delves into its use for secret communications, massive parallel data processing and investigating quantum mechanics; it also examines the moral, spiritual and philosophical questions that will arise if "beaming" people up ever becomes possible. Suitable for a pop-science audience, especially those looking for a way into quantum mechanics and wave-particle duality, this singular work deserves a wide audience. Agent, Patricia van der Leun.

Synopsis
An authoritative, entertaining examination of the ultimate thrill ride Until recently the stuff of sci-fi fiction and Star Trek reruns, teleportation has become a reality-for subatomic particles at least., An authoritative, entertaining examination of the ultimate thrill ride Until recently the stuff of sci-fi fiction and Star Trek reruns, teleportation has become a reality-for subatomic particles at least. In this eye-opening book, science author David Darling follows the remarkable evolution of teleportation, visiting the key labs that have cradled this cutting-edge science and relating the all-too-human stories behind its birth. He ties in the fast emerging fields of cryptography and quantum computing, tackles some thorny philosophical questions (for instance, can a soul be teleported?), and asks when and how humans may be able to "beam up.", Praise for David Darling Deep Time "A speculative and provocative book that extends what is known into what is unknown. It is not just another book on cosmology. . . . The emphasis here is on wonder." -Los Angeles Times "You don2t have to be a scientist to understand it, and if you2re one who enjoys contemplating the mysteries of creation, you should find it deeply rewarding." -The Associated Press Equations of Eternity "Mr. Darling provides one of the clearest and most eloquent expositions of the quantum conundrum and its philosophical and metaphysical implications that I have read recently." -The New York Times "In a boldly speculative tour of the mind and the cosmos, Darling expounds upon the relationship between mathematics and the physical reality it describes." -Library Journal, An authoritative, entertaining examination of the ultimate thrill ride Until recently the stuff of sci-fi fiction and Star Trek reruns, teleportation has become a reality-for subatomic particles at least.
