On Zeilinger's 2010 book 'Dance of the Photons'

Reading Zeilinger's 2010 book on light quanta 'Dance of the Photons', quantum superposition and entanglement-a popular book for novices at quantum mechanics, is interesting. The book is pretty good reading although a little specialized for those wishing to get right to the main cosmological descriptions of reality from largest to smallest...one likes to learn of the most recent theory of what occurred before the inflation of the Universe before one's coffee gets cold.

So far as I have read, there is fascinating historical summation of the Einstein-Rosenberg, Heisenberg, Schrodinger, Dirac, Pauli developments of theory in the field (non-technical of course for readers). Einstein's recovery of a particle theory of light from the popular wave theory of the day is brought out. It made me wish that the United States had a national laser and particle/microwave beam energy pipeline to taking energy from alternate sources such as wind and solar and beaming it around the nation with beam splitters and local applications for work in order to eliminate loss due to resistance in non-superconducting wires.

The idea that quantum packets of data-rather probability waves instead of either waves or point-particles, are represented by quantum theory, and that they may convey information faster than light through entanglement and superpositioning is a fruitful subject of thought. Obviously its easier to consider real things-maybe Calibi-Yau spaces developed with mathematical models of a sub-caliber character, than the missing, gaps inclined simultaneous two-places at once potential of quantum particles.

Astro-physics and solid state discoveries such as some Japanese researchers discovered recently of large planets without a local star to circle around are even easier to consider. One realizes that space may have a plethora of hidden, rocky planets and ice balls drfting unattached through the abyssal void of interstellar and even intergalactic space.

If light quanta are probability waves representationally within an electric field, one suspects that the entire field may have a pervasive pressure making quantum accounts ballance and providing the appearance of conveyance of information faster than light. Actually the topic of what makes the appearance of quantum superposition work so it can provide the same information to distal particles is one that can bring numerous theories to mind. Maybe when I have completed reading this book I will have a better idea about electrical fields and the place of photons journeying through them. The subject can be a little hazy at times.
