The real 'Brian' … Brian Greene ... no … not Cox, has published a new book called
"The Hidden Reality: Parallel Universes and the Deep Laws of the Cosmos"
Its all about the Multiverse Theory.
Here's
an interesting interview with him which poses some good general questions, which are met with really clear, concise responses. I reckon Brian Greene is one of the best around in presenting meaningful science. There's no fluff about this guy. He's the real deal.
Quote:
Q. Your new book talks about the concept of a multiverse. Can you explain what that means?
When we hear the word “universe,” we think that means everything: every star, every galaxy, everything that exists. But in physics, we’ve come upon the possibility that what we’ve long thought to be everything may actually only be a small part of something that is much, much bigger. The word “multiverse” refers to that bigger expanse, the new totality of reality, and our universe would be just a piece of that larger whole.

Another good one to put on the 'must read' list.
