In Dr. Kaku's eyes, we are living in a golden age of physics, as new discoveries from the WMAP and COBE satellites and the Hubble space telescope have given us unprecedented pictures of our universe in its infancy. \u003cbr\u003eAs astronomers wade through the avalanche of data from the WMAP satellite, a new cosmological picture is emerging. So far, the leading theory about the birth of the universe is the \"inflationary universe theory,\" a major refinement on the big bang theory. In this theory, our universe may be but one in a multiverse, floating like a bubble in an infinite sea of bubble universes, with new universes being created all the time. A parallel universe may well hover a mere millimeter from our own. \u003cbr\u003eThe very idea of parallel universes and the string theory that can explain their existence was once viewed with suspicion by scientists, seen as the province of mystics, charlatans, and cranks. But today, physicists overwhelmingly support string-theory, and its latest iteration, M-theory, as it is this onetheory that, if proven correct, would reconcile the four forces of the universe simply and elegantly, and answer the question \"What happened before the big bang?\" \u003cbr\u003eAlready, Kaku explains, the world's foremost physicists and astronomers are searching for ways to test the theory of the multiverse using highly sophisticated wave detectors, gravity lenses, satellites, and telescopes. The implications of M-theory are fascinating and endless. If parallel worlds do exist, Kaku speculates, in time, perhaps a trillion years or more from now, as appears likely, when our universe grows cold and dark in what scientists describe as a big freeze, advanced civilizations may well find a way to escape our universe in a kind of \"inter-dimensional lifeboat.\" \u003cbr\u003eAn unforgettable journey into black holes and time machines, alternate universes, and multidimensional space, \"Parallel Worlds gives us a compelling portrait of the revolution sweeping the world of cosmology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMICHIO KAKU is a professor of physics at the City University of New York, cofounder of string field theory, and the author of several widely acclaimed science books, including \u003ci\u003eHyperspace, Beyond Einstein, Physics of the Impossible, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePhysics of the Future. \u003c\/i\u003eHe is the science correspondent for CBS's \u003ci\u003eThis Morning\u003c\/i\u003e and host of the radio programs \u003ci\u003eScience Fantastic\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eExplorations in Science.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 448\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.91 x 7.82 x 5.86 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 14, 2006\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47472147857586,"sku":"9781400033720","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/88c3996867b796607efa12c0a1210c78.webp?v=1779104086","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/parallel-worlds-a-journey-through-creation-higher-dimensions-and-the-future-of-the-cosmos-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
