There was a time when .universe. meant all there is. Everything. Yet, in recent
years discoveries in physics and cosmology have led a number of scientists to
conclude that our universe may be one among many. With crystal-clear prose and
inspired use of analogy, Brian Greene shows how a range of different .multiverse.
proposals emerges from theories developed to explain the most refined observations
of both subatomic particles and the dark depths of space: a multiverse in which
you have an infinite number of doppelgangers, each reading this sentence in
a distant universe; a multiverse comprising a vast ocean of bubble universes,
of which ours is but one; a multiverse that endlessly cycles through time, or
one that might be hovering millimeters away yet remains invisible; another in
which every possibility allowed by quantum physics is brought to life. Or, perhaps
strangest of all, a multiverse made purely of mathematics.
Greene, one of our foremost physicists and science writers, takes us on
a captivating exploration of these parallel worlds and reveals how much of reality.s
true nature may be deeply hidden within them.
