There is another book which I recommend that you might like to read.
It's called "Biocosm" by James Gardner.
Multiple universes emerge from so-called superstring theory as well. This still evolving theory is based on the notion that, matter is made, not of
particles, but of tiny, vibrating loops of energy called strings. The strings exist in a world of up to 10 spatial dimensions, all but three of which
are too minute for us to perceive. Strange though it sounds, most physicists agree that it is the most likely candidate for the long-sought theory of
everything that could finally unite relativity and quantum mechanics, the two great but mutually incompatible ideas of 20th century physics.
Superstring theory, which has lately been renamed Mtheory for reasons that interest only theoretical physicists, is so dauntingly complex that the
smartest scientists in the world are still trying to nail it down. But among other things, it provides for multiple universes.
Last year a Stanford theorist named Shamit Kachru set out with some colleagues to calculate just how many different universes one particular version
of string theory could produce. The number he came up with was a 1 followed by something like 100 zeros — roughly a hundred billion billion times
the number of atoms in our universe. It was an answer that didn't please anyone. Says Max Tegmark, a theorist at the University of Pennsylvania:
"People have tried very hard to get rid of these multiple universes and failed. They just don't like the concept; they think it's weird. And
they're right. But don't we already have good evidence by now that the cosmos really is weird?" To Einstein's celebrated musing about whether God
had a choice in creating the universe, the answer seems to be a resounding yes: all sorts of universes are possible.
