  John Gribbin

   

  ‘Gribbin has inspired generations with his popular science writing’ —Jim Al-Khalili

   

  A scintillating collection of short essays that really does cover ‘life, the Universe, and everything’.

   

  From the mysteries of the subatomic world to the curious property of water that makes our planet inhabitable, master of popular science John Gribbin delves into the astonishing facts that underlie our existence.

   

  Some aspects of the quantum world really do seem impossible to ‘common sense’, but have been proved correct by experiments. Other features of the Universe appear obvious, such as the fact that atoms are mostly empty space. But this familiarity hides the truly amazing truths underpinning these observations. And some things merely seem improbable but are also hiding a Deep Truth, such as the fact that the Moon and Sun look the same size as viewed from Earth.

   

  This book will change forever the way you view the world.

  Brian Greene

   

  Brian Greene’s book The Hidden Reality is a tour de force of one of the most controversial areas of modern science – the possibility that there are multiple universes… Greene’s ability as a populariser has matured with each new publication and this latest offering is his best yet — Alastair Gunn ― Sky at Night

   

  Exciting and rewarding … captures and engages the imagination … Greene has a gift for elucidating big ideas ― New York Times

   

  If extraterrestrials landed tomorrow and demanded to know what the human mind is capable of accomplishing, we could do worse than to hand them a copy of this book ― New York Times Book Review

   

  The book serves well as an introduction to the multiverse and will open up many people’s eyes — John Gribbin

   

  Every chapter opens level after level of previously unimaginable, mind-expanding realities — Oliver Sacks

   

  The bestselling author of The Elegant Universe and The Fabric of the Cosmos tackles perhaps the most mind-bending question in modern physics and cosmology: Is our universe the only universe?

   

  There was a time when “universe” meant all there is. Everything. Yet, a number of theories are converging on the possibility that our universe may be but one among many parallel universes populating a vast multiverse. Here, Briane Greene, one of our foremost physicists and science writers, takes us on a breathtaking journey to a multiverse comprising an endless series of big bangs, a multiverse with duplicates of every one of us, a multiverse populated by vast sheets of spacetime, a multiverse in which all we consider real are holographic illusions, and even a multiverse made purely of math–and reveals the reality hidden within each.

   

  Using his trademark wit and precision, Greene presents a thrilling survey of cutting-edge physics and confronts the inevitable question: How can fundamental science progress if great swaths of reality lie beyond our reach? The Hidden Reality is a remarkable adventure through a world more vast and strange than anything we could have imagined.

  John Gribbin

   

  The quantum computer is no longer the stuff of science fiction. Pioneering physicists are on the brink of unlocking a new quantum universe which provides a better representation of reality than our everyday experiences and common sense ever could.

   

  The birth of quantum computers – which, like Schrödinger’s famous “dead and alive” cat, rely on entities like electrons, photons, or atoms existing in two states at the same time – is set to turn the computing world on its head. In his fascinating study of this cutting-edge technology, and featuring a new introduction, John Gribbin explores the nature of quantum reality, arguing for a universe of many parallel worlds where “everything is real.”

   

  Looking back to Alan Turing’s work on the Enigma machine and the first electronic computer, Gribbin explains how quantum theory developed to make quantum computers work in practice as well as in principle. He takes us beyond the arena of theoretical physics to explore their practical applications – from machines which learn through “intuition” and trial and error to unhackable laptops and smartphones.

   

  And he investigates the potential for this extraordinary science to create a world where communication occurs faster than light and teleportation is possible. This is an exciting insider’s look at the new frontier of computer science and its revolutionary implications.
