The Real Brian & Multiverses

[CraigS]

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.

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.

Cheers

I really like Brian Greene, he seems to present in a way that is both excited and energetic but he isn't over the top. I really enjoyed the prospect of M Theory in Elegant Universe, it really intrigued me.

And this is a great interview and he explains for the simpler mind as well so that even I can understand without knowing extreme physics and maths. I really hope that the book will be similar to this or at least be readible by all. I always find when I try and read books by these amazing people, I just cannot understand it And what I really loved was when he said something like "be excited, be thrilled but be sceptical". I may have pushed Brian Greene to the side line a bit for no particular reason but having not heard enough about him but this has made me want to find out more and hopefully not be so dismissive in the future.
