The bounds of reality: on parallel worlds -- Endless doppelgangers: the quilted multiverse -- Eternity and infinity: the inflationary multiverse -- Unifying nature's laws: on the road to string theory -- Hovering universes in nearby dimensions: the brane and cyclic multiverses -- New thinking about an old constant: the landscape multiverse -- Science and the multiverse: on inference, explanation, and prediction -- The many worlds of quantum measurement: the quantum multiverse -- Black holes and holograms: the holographic multiverse -- Universes, computers, and mathematical reality: the simulated and ultimate multiverses -- The limits of inquiry: multiverses and the future.
"The Hidden Reality" reveals how major developments in different branches of fundamental theoretical physics -- relativistic, quantum, cosmological, unified, computational -- have all led us to consider one or another variety of parallel universe.
