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