Recent developments in cosmology and particle physics, such as the
string landscape picture, have led to the remarkable realization
that our universe - rather than being unique - could be just one of
many universes. The multiverse proposal helps to explain the origin
of the universe and some of its observational features. Since the
physical constants can be different in other universes, the
fine-tunings which appear necessary for the emergence of life may
also be explained. Nevertheless, many physicists remain
uncomfortable with the multiverse proposal, since it is highly
speculative and perhaps untestable. In this volume, a number of
active and eminent researchers in the field - mainly cosmologists
and particle physicists but also some philosophers - address these
issues and describe recent developments. The articles represent the
full spectrum of views, providing for the first time an overview of
the subject. They are written at different academic levels,
engaging lay-readers and researchers alike.
