The hidden reality :
Greene, Brian
The hidden reality : parallel universes and the deep laws of the cosmos by Brian Greene. - New York : Penguin, ©2012 - xi, 370 p. : ill. ; 20 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
1. The bounds of reality: on parallel worlds 2. Endless doppelgangers: the quilted multiverse 3. Eternity and infinity: the inflationary multiverse 4. Unifying nature's laws: on the road to string theory 5. Hovering universes in nearby dimensions: the brane and cyclic multiverses 6. New thinking about an old constant: the landscape multiverse 7. Science and the multiverse: on inference, explanation, and prediction 8. The many worlds of quantum measurement: the quantum multiverse 9. Black holes and holograms: the holographic multiverse 10. Universes, computers, and mathematical reality: the simulated and ultimate multiverses 11. The limits of inquiry: multiverses and the future.
"The Hidden Reality" reveals how major developments in different branches of fundamental theoretical physics -- relativistic, quantum, cosmological, unified, computational -- have all led us to consider one or another variety of parallel universe.
