(Original review, 2011)The Multiverse is awesome.We all look, we find what we may, but we all have to choose what we look at more deeply than we will look at the rest of what there is. Yes, I refuse to spend much time on multiverse hypotheses; I used to spend a lot of time looking at quantum field t...
So my buddy Ryan introduced me and Jo to his new girlfriend this past weekend and she's a mathematician (who is clearly not very good at it, because Ryan with a girlfriend doesn't add up - ZING!), so I was like "Do you think we're all simulations in a big futuristic game of The Sims?" and her face j...
As a non-physicist, I am a fan of Greene, who is known for explaining string theory to the masses, but this book was a bit heavy for audio. I dropped off a couple times and had to re-listen to a few sections. Diagrams would be useful. I might have given it 4 stars if I read it in paper. Still, a tho...
Unabridged and read by the author - sorted!Not as accessible (for me, anyway :O/) as The Elegant Universe however I love his descriptions of parallel universes that fire the imagination.
After reading Greene's book I am less inclined to believe in the reality of parallel universes. The idea of everything being repeated an infinite number of times in an infinite universe seems ridiculous. Infinity is a mathematical abstraction that has no correlation with the physical universe. Al...
It all comes down to mathematics. "The ultimate multiverse takes this perceptive to its furthermost incarnation; mathematics, according to the ultimate multiverse, is reality."Theory that is not experiment on, is still theory until proven. But by the nature of the theory that it is not possible to e...
"Typical Greene meaning typically very good"I have yet to grow tired of Brian Greene's books. As with his other two books that I've read this is an exciting read. He amazes me with his great analogies and he never seems to repeat himself from his other books even when he talks about that the same su...
I've now read three books about the multiverse in rapid succession: the first two were Rees's Before The Beginning (1996) and Davies's The Goldilocks Enigma (2007). This one came out just a few months ago, so I'm hopefully up to date for the moment.Well: I'm starting to feel quite familiar with the ...
