Parallel Worlds: A Journey through Creation, Higher Dimensions, and the Future of the Cosmos

in This Thrilling Journey Into The Mysteries Of Our Cosmos, Bestselling Author Michio Kaku Takes Us On A Dizzying Ride To Explore Black Holes And Time Machines, Multidimensional Space And, Most Tantal...izing Of All, The Possibility That Parallel Universes May Lay Alongside Our Own. Kaku Skillfully Guides Us Through The Latest Innovations In String Theory And Its Latest Iteration, M-theory, Which Posits That Our Universe May Be Just One In An Endless Multiverse, A Singular Bubble Floating In A Sea Of Infinite Bubble Universes. If M-theory Is Proven Correct, We May Perhaps Finally Find Answer To The Question, “what Happened Before The Big Bang?” This Is An Exciting And Unforgettable Introduction Into The New Cutting-edge Theories Of Physics And Cosmology From One Of The Pre-eminent Voices In The Field. publishers Weekly well-known Physicist And Author Kaku (hyperspace) Tells Readers In This Latest Exploration Of The Far Reaches Of Scientific Speculation That Another Universe May Be Floating Just A Millimeter Away On A Brane (membrane) Parallel To Our Own. We Can't Pop Our Heads In And Have A Look Around Because It Exists In Hyperspace, Beyond Our Four Dimensions. However, Kaku Writes, Scientists Conjecture That Branes-a Creation Of M Theory, Marketed As Possibly The Long-sought Theory Of Everything-may Eventually Collide, Annihilating Each Other. Such A Collision May Even Have Caused What We Call The Big Bang. In His Usual Reader-friendly Style, Kaku Discusses The Spooky Objects Conjured Up From The Equations Of Relativity And Quantum Physics: Wormholes, Black Holes And The White Holes On The Other Side; Universes Budding Off From One Another; And Alternate Quantum Realities In Which The 2004 Elections Turned Out Differently. As He Delves Into The Past, Present And Possible Future Of This Universe, Kaku Will Excite Readers With His Vision Of Realms That May Exist Just Beyond The Tip Of Our Noses And, In What He Admits Is A Highly Speculative Section, The Possibilities Our Progeny May Enjoy Countless Millennia From Now; For Instance, As This Universe Dies (in A Big Freeze), Humans May Be Able To Escape Into Other Universes.

Parallel Universes: The Search for Other Worlds

Is science fact stranger than science fiction? In an outrageous ride along the frontiers of science (New Age Journal), physicist Fred Alan Wolf explores the startling concept of parallel universes - w...orlds that resemble and perhaps even duplicate our own - and puts a refreshing and illuminating spin on the complex theories challenging our perceptions of the universe. Through such lively examples as a superspace theater and zero-time ghosts, Wolf deftly guides the reader through the paradoxes of today's physics to explore a realm of scientific speculation in which black holes are gateways of information between universes, and alter egos spring into existence at the flip of a coin. Wolf explores a future when time travelers will make history - and alter the past - while testing Earth's first time machine; when lucid dreaming and schizophrenia may mark the overlap of parallel universes; when quantum computers may predict the stock market. Publishers Weekly Wolf's readers should get ready for a wild intellectual ride through the convoluted realms of quantum mechanics, relativity, black holes and imaginary time. The physicist ( Starwave ) is a strong proponent of the ``many-worlds'' interpretation of quantum mechanics, and he launches a ferocious assault on conservative scientists who espouse the ``Copenhagen'' interpretation. Essentially, the debate hinges on the role of consciousness in measuring quantum events: Copenhagenists argue that a quantum measurement causes the ``collapse'' of a particle's probability wave, while Wolf claims the act of measuring actually causes the universe to split in two. The equations of relativity and quantum physics support both interpretations. Wolf describes what it would be like to travel through a black hole to a parallel universe; claims that the future must communicate with the present; answers the question of whether the universe had a radius before we started to measure it; and argues that schizophrenics may be in touch with parallel universes. Physics is becoming metaphysics. An enthralling, if somewhat wacky, read. (Mar.)
