| Polzik of the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, and their colleagues teleported traits of a dim laser pulse, including the strength of its electromagnetic field, onto a cloud of 1 trillion cesium atoms. Greene starts out with the high points: Isaac Newton and gravity; Einstein's theory of general relativity explaining the tidy relationship between gravity and electromagnetism; Niels Bohr and quantum physics transforming the universe into chaotic kismet (to which Einstein responded, ``God does not throw dice''). In Michael Frayn's play 'Copenhagen' there is a great speech by the Niels Bohr character describing man's position through history, first tiny unknowing figures under God, then the measure of all things in the Renaissance, before being sidelined again by classical mechanistic physics. |
