Über diesen Titel

 There was a time when “universe” meant all there is. Everything. Yet, in recent years discoveries in physics and cosmology have led a number of scientists to conclude that our universe may be one among many. With crystal-clear prose and inspired use of analogy, Brian Greene shows how a range of different “multiverse” proposals emerges from theories developed to explain the most refined observations of both subatomic particles and the dark depths of space: a multiverse in which you have an infinite number of doppelgängers, each reading this sentence in a distant universe; a multiverse comprising a vast ocean of bubble universes, of which ours is but one; a multiverse that endlessly cycles through time, or one that might be hovering millimeters away yet remains invisible; another in which every possibility allowed by quantum physics is brought to life. Or, perhaps strangest of all, a multiverse made purely of mathematics.

Greene, one of our foremost physicists and science writers, takes us on a captivating exploration of these parallel worlds and reveals how much of reality’s true nature may be deeply hidden within them. Wissenschaft

Kritikerstimmen

“If extraterrestrials landed tomorrow and demanded to know what the human mind is capable of accomplishing, we could do worse than to hand them a copy of this book.”
—Timothy Ferris, The New York Times Book Review“Few living writers write so lucidly about such complicated stuff. In

Greene’s prose, cutting-edge cosmology and particle physics become something a plucky and well-rested reader can apprehend. . . Greene might be the best intermediary I’ve found between the sparkling, absolute zero world of mathematics and the warm, clumsy world of human language.”
—Anthony Doerr, Boston Globe

“Mr. Greene has a gift for elucidating big ideas . . . Exciting and rewarding . . . [The Hidden Reality] captures and engages the imagination.”
—Janet Maslin, The New York Times

“It's impossible to summarize every step of Greene's balletic footwork, by which, like some multi-limbed Asian deity, he dances into being each different theoretical framework that could support multiple universes. . . His arguments are constructed like classical cathedrals, with intricate arches and buttresses that all uphold the central spire. Sometimes you think he's lost in the details of some sculpted gargoyle, only to realize how essential to the whole structure this particular feature is.”
—Paul di Filippo, Barnes and Noble Review

“[Greene] leads the general reader on an excursion to the farthest and most mind-bending reaches of speculative physics . . . An exhilarating—if sometimes vertigo-inducing—journey.”
—Alden Mudge, Bookpage

“An in-depth yet marvelously accessible look inside the perplexing world of modern theoretical physics and cosmology . . . Greene presents a lucid, intriguing, and triumphantly understandable state-of-the-art look at the universe.”
—Publishers Weekly (Starred review)

All in all fascinating as always. But some parts were a bit too abstract or detailed for me.

Solid Greene

Gut gesprochen, magische Informationen wenn auch etwas technisch. Was ist die Realität? Kosmisch und mysteriös.

Faszinierend

Brain Greene gives the laymen the opportunity to glimpse into the latest physics developments. His explanations are clear, although I sometimes wonder why rudimentary explanations like the one on logarithms are required when every person who has an interest in such topics will not come completely devoid of any mathematics background. Also the undeniable passion in the authors and readers voice make the subject sometimes less believable as would have been by a professional neutral reader.

In spite of this minor critique, I really enjoyed the continued journey through string theory, the inflaton field and the many versions of the multiverse. A part from these insights, one phrase will certainly remain on my mind for the years to come: "we have to take the mathematical models more seriously". There is indeed many arguments to be made that the mathematical equations deliver more than their original use and that the results we seek in an equation could indeed come entangled with results we will observe in later experiments. Maybe I will need to read a third book by Brian Greene to convince me that the entanglement of results comprises all results of reality. A sort of: mathematics as the quantum theory of the physical reality. Sounds crazy, but all predictions turn out to be true.

One of the best book to get an basic idea about the space-time and fabric of the cosmos.
Different multiverse theory's are brilliantly explained in this book.
And most importantly Brian Green's narration is unbelievably perfect!

Brilliant book for an introduction to Cosmology
