THE HIDDEN REALITY: PARALLEL UNIVERSES, AND THE DEEP LAWS OF THE COSMOS By Brian Greene


Readers of Brian Greene’s The Elegant Universe and The Future of the Cosmos know what to expect from this gifted science writer: explanations of mind-blowing concepts in clear, literate prose. In Greene’s latest book, The Hidden Reality, Greene explores the possibility that there are parallel universes. Based on string-theory, an infinite universe allows for the probability of an infinite number of universes, some resembling ours. I don’t pretend to understand all the quantum mechanics and probabilistic theorems Greene discusses, but I was able to follow his critique of Einstein’s physics. Much of The Hidden Reality is a history of physics in the 20th (and 21st) century. If you’re in the mood to be astounded, read The Hidden Reality. GRADE: A

    I was listening to recommendations of books like this on science Friday yesterday. I doubt I could follow much of it, but it does interest me. I wish I had been a better student in classes like this one.

      I’ll have to go back and see what books Science Friday recommended, Patti. I love science, but like you, took the path to English Literature.
