The Hidden Reality: Book summary and reviews of The Hidden Reality by Brian Greene

The Hidden Reality Summary

In recent years, a growing body of work - based on the principles of quantum mechanics, cosmology, and string theory - has been steadily converging around a proposal that our universe is actually only one of many universes. In fact, research supports a number of different models of parallel universes in which our world appears: for instance, as one of many "bubbles" in a rapidly growing bath of universes, or as one of numerous cosmic slabs separated from one another through additional spatial dimensions.

Brian Greene, with his trademark impartiality, "multiverse," taking us on a journey grounded firmly in science, and limited only by our imaginations.
