书籍简介

宇宙曾被认为是万物之源——存在的全部。几个世纪以来，宇宙的大小以及它是否有限，一直令科学家和哲学家着迷。

然而，无论宇宙多么浩瀚，只有一个宇宙的说法都让天文学家和宇宙学家头疼不已。我们所知的生命存在依赖于自然界中诸多常数，而这些常数哪怕发生微小的改变，都会使生命无法存在。这种情况似乎不太可能是偶然发生的。那么，如果实际上存在着无数个不同的宇宙呢？每个宇宙都包含着多种不同的宇宙构成，而我们的宇宙只是众多恰好适宜生命存在的宇宙之一。

在这部引人入胜的探索之作中，布莱恩·克莱格深入探究了多元宇宙的无限可能。本书探讨了宇宙膨胀、平行宇宙以及相互联系等问题，带领读者进入现代物理学和宇宙学中奇特也激动人心的领域之一。

The universe was supposed to be all there was - the whole of existence. For centuries the size of the universe and whether or not it is finite, fascinated scientists and philosophers.

But however big the universe may be, there being only one gave astronomers and cosmologists a headache. Existence as we know it is contingent on so many constants in nature which, if altered only slightly, would make life impossible. This seems so unlikely to happen by chance. What if, instead, there is in fact a vast range of different universes, with many variants of the universal contents, making ours just one of many that happens to be viable for life?

In this illuminating exploration,Brian Cleggdelves into the endless possibilities of the multiverse. Investigating questions of expanding, parallel and communicating universes, this accessible guide takes the reader into one of the weirdest and most exciting areas of modern physics and cosmology.
