Description
| 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-worlds 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 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. |
