Reality is not what it seems. Not fixed. Not silent. Not separate from the one who observes it. Quantum experiments reveal seams in the world… places where information appears without traveling… where outcomes wait for attention… where time behaves like something far more flexible than a river.

This book does not claim answers. It offers a key. If you have ever sensed something beneath the surface… Step closer.

Gabriella Greison racconta la bizzarra esistenza e le ancor più straordinarie intuizioni di uno dei padri della fisica quantistica, Paul Dirac, fisico premio Nobel 1933. Dirac è stato un fisico geniale e un uomo strambo e meticoloso, costantemente impegnato a elaborare formule, fra cui quella meraviglia grazie alla quale è entrato nella storia della scienza e che lo indica sulla lapide nell'Abbazia di Westminster a fianco di Isaac Newton: i? + ?? = m?.

Humanity's relationship with black holes began in 1783 in a small English village, when clergyman John Michell posed a startling question: What if there are objects in space that are so large and heavy that not even light can escape them? Almost 250 years later, in April 2019, scientists presented the first picture of a black hole. Physicist Jonas Enander has traveled the world to investigate how our understanding of these elusive celestial objects has evolved since the days of Michell.

This book explains why events in the world cannot always be understood as the result of separate things influencing one another locally. Starting from a well-established result in modern physics, it shows that some correlations observed in nature cannot be explained by assuming that each object carries its own independent properties and that all influence spreads step by step through space. The book examines the theorem that establishes this limit and the experiments that confirm it.
