Among his peers, Alex Vilenkin is regarded as one of the most imaginative and creative cosmologists of our time. His contributions to our current understanding of the universe include a number of novel ideas, two of which―eternal cosmic inflation and the quantum creation of the universe from nothing―have provided a scientific foundation for the possible existence of multiple universes.With this book―his first for the general reader―Vilenkin joins another select group: the handful of first-rank scientists who are equally adept at explaining their work to nonspecialists. With engaging, well-paced storytelling, a droll sense of humor, and a generous sprinkling of helpful cartoons, he conjures up a bizarre and fascinating new worldview that―to paraphrase Niels Bohr―just might be crazy enough to be true.
