Brad, thank you! thank you! thank you! for reminding me of that book,
The Fabric of Reality. I once attended a party, saw that book on a shelf, picked it up and proceeded to withdraw from all contact with other people for about an hour. I finally had to put it down and socialize, and somehow I managed to forget about it and I never got round to buying a copy.
That's a wonderful book. Must order it right away.
EDIT: If anyone thinks this is off-topic, it really isn't. That book covers just about every scientific or technological concept we ever discuss here, very much including the present topic.
