From the best-selling author of "The Elegant Universe" and "The
Fabric of the Cosmos" comes his most expansive and accessible book
to date--a book that takes on the grandest question: Is ours the
only universe?
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 math.
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. And, with his unrivaled ability to make the most
challenging of material accessible and entertaining, Greene tackles
the core question: How can fundamental science progress if great
swaths of reality lie beyond our reach?
Sparked by Greene's trademark wit and precision, "The Hidden
Reality" is at once a far-reaching survey of cutting-edge physics
and a remarkable journey to the very edge of reality--a journey
grounded firmly in science and limited only by our imagination.
