Is our own universe one of many parallel worlds in a ‘megaverse’? In this flight to the frontiers of cosmology, theoretical physicist Michio Kaku explores the idea that we may live on the skin of an expanding bubble in an infinitely developing multiverse. Parallel Worlds sets out the scientific concepts that could unravel the greatest mysteries of our existence. Kaku’s exhilarating tour takes in Copernicus, Newton, Einstein, Schrödinger and Hawking, relativity and quantum theory, the big bang, black holes, hidden dimensions, dark matter and superstrings. And although it is a story whose ending we may already know, as our galaxy accelerates towards oblivion in a ‘Big Freeze’, Kaku daringly speculates that intelligent life may one day cheat extinction by escaping to a new universe. Presented with a new introduction by the author, plus a frontispiece and 16 pages of spectacular cosmic images, this is a story to inspire wonder and drive curiosity.
