Reviews
"Alex Vilenkin's Many Worlds in One is one of the best science books I have ever read. Not only is Vilenkin one of the great pioneers in the subject of modern cosmology, but also he is exceptionally clear, wonderfully witty, and frequently full of wisdom." - Leonard Susskind, Felix Bloch Professor of Physics, Stanford University, and author of The Cosmic Landscape: String Theory and the Illusion of Intelligent Design "A wonderful tour of modern cosmology, wittily directed by one of the most gifted practitioners of the field. A pleasure to read." -Mario Livio, Senior Scientist, Space Telescope Science Institute, and author, most recently, of The Equation That Couldn't Be Solved, "I thoroughly recommend "Many Worlds in One," Vilenkin has made some major contributions to the Multiverse hypothesis. Here he illuminates the current issues with clarity and elegance, yet the stories he tells are accessible to non-specialists"--Joseph Silk, "Nature""" "A wonderful tour of modern cosmology, wittily directed by one of the most gifted practitioners of the field. A pleasure to read." -- Mario Livio, Senior Scientist, Space Telescope Science Institute, and author, most recently, of "The Equation That Couldn' t Be Solved " "Alex Vilenkin mines the subtlest phenomena shaping the cosmos to derive the grandest consequences. This is remarkable stuff--fantastic and moving in its implications--yet it is neither fantasy nor science fiction. Vilenkin's portrait of the cosmos points to the logical possibility of a multiplicity of universes, events and lives, and leads us to wonder about our own significance in this sea of infinite possibility." -- Janna Levin, Professor of Physics and Astronomy, Barnard College of Columbia University, and author of "How the Universe Got Its Spots " "Alex Vilenkin's MANY WORLDS IN ONE is one of the best science books I have ever read. Not only is Vilenkin one of the great pioneers in the subject of modern cosmology, but also he is exceptionally clear, wonderfully witty, and frequently full of wisdom." -- Leonard Susskind, Felix Bloch Professor of Physics, Stanford University, and author, "The Cosmic Landscape: String Theory and the Illusion of Intelligent Design. " "Can it really be that our Universe is just one of many? Alex Vilenkin is your amiable, but authoritative and completely serious guide tothis audacious idea at the frontier of cosmological science. He makes astonishing thoughts sound like sensible steps forward in an earnest enterprise. MANY WORLDS IN ONE will open your mind to exponentially expanding universes that may lie just beyond our own." -- Robert P. Kirshner, Clowes Professor of Science, Harvard University, and author of "The Extravagant Universe: Exploding Stars, Dark Energy and the Accelerating Cosmos", "A wonderful tour of modern cosmology, wittily directed by one of the most gifted practitioners of the field. A pleasure to read." --Mario Livio, Senior Scientist, Space Telescope Science Institute, and author, most recently, of "The Equation That Couldn't Be Solved " "Alex Vilenkin mines the subtlest phenomena shaping the cosmos to derive the grandest consequences.

Synopsis
Recent discoveries in cosmology have led to a bizarre new worldview that (to paraphrase Niels Bohr) may be crazy enough to be true., Presents an overview of the current theories pertaining to such ideas as dark matter, ripples in space-time, and multiple universes, offering insight into how theoretical advances are leading to the formation of a new cosmological discipline.
