Product Description
Product Description
When physicists began exploring the inner workings of the atom, they uncovered a world so weird that it overturned our very concept of reality. When you journey into the quantum universe you enter a world ruled by chance. Commonsense notions of space, time and causality must be left behind as the realm of solid matter dissolves away into vibrating patterns of ghostly energy; even spacetime itself is revealed as an ephemeral froth of wormholes and tunnels. Most revolutionary of all is the way in which quantum physics interweaves mind and matter in a subtle and holistic manner. It is here that scientists make the most startling claim of all: that there exist myriads of alternative realities in parallel to our own. Are these "other worlds" just mathematical artefacts, or do they really exist?

This book takes all the Physics knowledge you ever acquired, picks it to pieces, throws it out of the window and then reveals some concepts that will change the way you view time and space and Physics in general. Not only this, but it is all the more stunning (and sometimes scary) because many of the revelations are backed up by succesful experiment results. Buy this book now!

Anyone with the most basic GCSE physics can grasp the mind blowing concepts in this book, and that is one of its strengths. Using analogy in the place of mathematics, the book presetns the latest developments in quantum mechanics, relativity, and everything else which usually gets yawns, in an interesting and detailed manner. A great buy!

Other Worlds is a fantastic book. It doesn't defy logic..that's the strange thing. It goes by the laws of physics and maths and explains how membrane universes, wormholes and time travel is possible. Mr. Davies writes fantastic articles on the universe in New Scientist magazine and this book is amazing. His new book 'How to build a Time Machine' should be very good.
