  *******************************************************************************<br /> Universe or Multiverse?<br /> *******************************************************************************<br /> <br /> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> General Information<br /> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> Type.................: Ebook<br /> Part Size............: 2,866,330 bytes<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> Post Information<br /> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> Posted by............: ~tqw~<br /> <br /> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> Release Notes<br /> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> Recent developments in cosmology and particle physics, such as the string <br /> landscape picture, have led to the remarkable realization that our <br /> universe&mdash;rather than being unique&mdash;could be just one of many universes. The <br /> multiverse proposal helps to explain the origin of the universe and some of its <br /> observational features. Since the physical constants can be different in other <br /> universes, the fine-tunings which appear necessary for the emergence of life may <br /> also be explained. Nevertheless, many physicists remain uncomfortable with the <br /> multiverse proposal, since it is highly speculative and perhaps untestable. In <br /> this volume, a number of active and eminent researchers in the field&mdash;mainly <br /> cosmologists and particle physicists but also some philosophers&mdash;address these <br /> issues and describe recent developments. The articles represent the full <br /> spectrum of views, providing for the first time an overview of the subject. They <br /> are written at different academic levels, engaging lay-readers and researchers <br /> alike<br /> <br /> Table Of Contents<br /> <br /> List of contributors page viii<br /> Preface xi<br /> Acknowledgements xiv<br /> Editorial note xv<br /> Part I Overviews 1<br /> 1 Introduction and overview 3<br /> 2 Living in the multiverse 29<br /> 3 Enlightenment, knowledge, ignorance, temptation 43<br /> Part II Cosmology and astrophysics 55<br /> 4 Cosmology and the multiverse 57<br /> 5 The Anthropic Principle revisited 77<br /> 6 Cosmology from the top down 91<br /> 7 The multiverse hierarchy 99<br /> 8 The inflationary multiverse 127<br /> 9 A model of anthropic reasoning: the dark to ordinary matter ratio 151<br /> 10 Anthropic predictions: the case of the cosmological constant 163<br /> 11 The definition and classification of universes 181<br /> 12 M/string theory and anthropic reasoning 191<br /> 13 The anthropic principle, dark energy and the LHC 211<br /> Part III Particle physics and quantum theory 219<br /> 14 Quarks, electrons and atoms in closely related universes 221<br /> 15 The fine-tuning problems of particle physics and anthropic mechanisms 231<br /> 16 The anthropic landscape of string theory 247<br /> 17 Cosmology and the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics 267<br /> 18 Anthropic reasoning and quantum cosmology 275<br /> 19 Micro-anthropic principle for quantum theory 285<br /> Part IV More general philosophical issues 321<br /> 20 Scientific alternatives to the anthropic principle 323<br /> 21 Making predictions in a multiverse: conundrums, dangers, coincidences 367<br /> 22 Multiverses: description, uniqueness and testing 387<br /> 23 Predictions and tests of multiverse theories 411<br /> 24 Observation selection theory and cosmological fine-tuning 431<br /> 25 Are anthropic arguments, involving multiverses and beyond, legitimate? 445<br /> 26 The multiverse hypothesis: a theistic perspective 459<br /> 27 Living in a simulated universe 481<br /> 28 Universes galore: where will it all end? 487<br /> <br /> Product Details<br /> <br /> * ISBN: 0521848415<br /> * ISBN-13: 9780521848411<br /> * Format: Hardcover, 517pp<br /> * Publisher: Cambridge University Press<br /> * Pub.
