The Charm of the Multiverse. Parallel Worlds, Other Dimensions, and Alternative Realities

The Charm of the Multiverse. Parallel Worlds, Other Dimensions, and Alternative Realities

What if our world is not the only one? This idea has long fascinated writers, dreamers, and filmmakers. But does it have real foundations? American physicist Paul Halpern explains how philosophical inquiries and scientific discoveries of the last hundred years... have revolutionized human understanding of the world. From the predictable Newtonian Universe, we have transitioned to the tangled landscape of string theory and inflationary cosmology, where stars and galaxies, black holes and quantum particles become pieces of a grand cosmic puzzle. Drawing on the theories of Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, Erwin Schrödinger, and other outstanding scientists, Halpern invites us to view reality as an infinite kaleidoscope of possibilities. "The Charm of the Multiverse" is the story of one of the most whimsical, controversial, and promising scientific concepts.
