parallel universe?
Greene, the author of The Elegant Universe and The Fabric of the Cosmos, tackles the existence of multiple universes in his latest book, The Hidden Reality: Parallel Universes and the Deep Laws of the Cosmos. He is appearing at the Tattered Cover LoDo store Feb. 21 at 7:30 p.m.
Greene points to recent discoveries in physics and astronomy that lead to the idea that our universe may be one of many.
Greene thinks the key to understanding these multiverses comes from string theory, the area of physics he has studied for the past 25 years.
Greene explains that when he began studying string theory and parallel universes, it wasn't because he could one day measure energy at CERN (the big collider and physics lab near Geneva, Switzerland) or develop new mathematical equations. He simply liked the idea, he says, of studying something on such a large scale.
"We're trying to talk about not just the universe but perhaps other universes - but all within a logical framework that allows us to make some definitive statements," he says. "To me, that's enormously exciting, to step outside the everyday and really look at the universe, within these mathematical terms, on its grandest scales."
