Visions of the multiverse - Steven L Manly

The idea of a multiple universe reality is no longer considered speculative or implausible by many physicists; rather, it is deemed inescapable. Distinct concepts of the multiverse spring from quantum mechanics, cosmology, string theory - based cosmology and ideas about a mathematics based reality that borders on the religious.In this accessible and entertaining book, Dr. Manly guides you on a tour of the many multiverse concepts and provides the nontechnical background to understand them.VISIONS OF THE MULTIVERSE explores questions such as:Just what is a multiverse?What are the different concepts of the multiverse and how are
they related?Is it possible to determine if we live in a multiverse...or even in
multiple types
of multiverses?How do religious concepts of the afterlife and popular ideas based
on the Law of Attraction relate to the scientific visions of
the multiverse?Dr. Manly discusses a wide variety of fascinating concepts - from relativity and the fundamental particles and forces of nature to dark matter, dark energy and quantum mechanics - in an unintimidating and conversational tone.Is humanity is in the midst of a new Copernican revolution?You decide.
