Read By: Brian Greene
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.
