In this case I finished the reading some fifteen minutes ago and I'm here with a kind of a torch whose fire I want to propagate through you. But the idea is not to spread the fire so as to spread the light. And this is because this book has been written to enhance the knowledge of the common people (like me) who asks deep questions and wants to understand with simple (but not trivial) answers.Well, the issue begins with the problem of knowing how this universe we live in came to be so adjusted and fine-tuned as to permit that guys like us could observe it. When I say fine-tuned I talk about the constants that rule and control the universe. You can read "Just Six Numbers" by Martin Rees and be surprised by the incredible precision of the cosmic clock. It is hard to believe that everything was just casual and easy to attribute it to somebody or something that made it.Well, Alex Vilenkin tells you what the answer to that mystery is by now. In this vein he is indebted to Alan Guth and his idea about an inflationary universe to explain how we get to the present from a very blurred past. But together with Guth there is a Pleiade of names that come and go through the book. All of them contribute to the construction of the perspective that Vilenkin defends. And the perspective has to do with the solution to the problem posed by the six numbers of Martin Rees and their astonishing precision. But not only that. It also gives you the notion that the universe could have been created from nothing (chapter 17). In penetrating Guth ideas through his proper insights on the topic, Vilenkin shows you the possibilities and the strength of the theory.At last, by following that line of thinking we stop to see just one universe with an incredible fine-tuning like ours, to begin to "see" several others with the same laws but different outputs. Some that are suitable for the kind of life we see and some others that not. Vilenkin take your hand and guide you all the way from the beginning of the cosmos to the end. In so doing, he uses his sympathy in fair equilibrium with his knowledge as a professor of physics. The chapters are short but highly informative. Every speculation is followed by a discussion on the topic. He is always telling you what to believe as a fact and what it is just an idea open to corroboration.Finally, the subject is clear and proposes a new outlook to the cosmos. It opens the solution to the limits of the previous vision that had to carry the effect of a fine-tuning universe and in doing that left behind many open questions. This recent perspective proposes new and very shocking possibilities. I'm not exaggerating. This book, with 222 pages, including notes, demands two or three days of reading. This is meritorious and constitutes a feat which is good for Vilenkin and, mainly, good for us. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Making sense of the reality that surrounds us *by K***R on Reviewed in Canada on 6 July 2009* In spite of the fact that a few concepts needed to be researched and defined outside of this reading, the book flows in a rational and organized manner. The concepts and theories themselves are truly amazing !! The idea that absolutely NOTHING existed prior to the Big Bang other than the an ever-present consciousness of thought, that not only is the perimeter of reality is expanding at a rate much higher than the speed of light but that an infinite number of universes are being created in the process, and, in addition to this, we may have parallel worlds existing because of quantum principles,..... simply takes your breath away. While the mathemaatical proofs of these theories are beyond the complexity of this book, the reader can realize that these concepts have a high degree of validity without the proofs.This is the perfect book to pick up and reread when all of the mundane and trivial things of life seem to overwhelm us. No matter how important these repressive events feel they truly are completely insignificant when contrasted to eternal reality and all that entails. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thought-provoking first-hand insights *by R***S on Reviewed in Germany on 24 October 2008* There are not many popular science books that open up an entirely new world-view, one that is both fascinating and irritating. Although there are lots of good books about cosmology, quantum physics, and the (possible) beginning and end of the universe, this one is unique: It doesn't simply repeat the well-known facts and fictions, but explains the dramatic developments in theoretical cosmology during the last two decades, which are not covered elsewhere (or only briefly and often in a misleading way), including some of their eminent philosophical implications.Alex Vilenkin, one of the leading and most creative researchers of our time, delivers first-hand insights from his own work and that of his friends and colleagues (altogether a veritable Who Is Who in cosmology: Alan Guth, Stephen Hawking, Andrei Linde, Alexei Starobinsky, Paul Steinhardt, Steven Weinberg and many more).Vilenkins book covers topics like the scenario of cosmic inflation (an exponential expansion of space), the origin of matter and the seeds for galaxy formation at the end of inflation, our observable universe as a tiny part of a bigger universe which is only one of a myriad of other island universes within a still inflating "false vacuum", the possibility of different laws and constants of nature ruling those other universes, the disturbing implication of REAL "parallel universes" with all possible alternate histories and also infinite numbers of fully identical "copies" of each of us, the strange issue of the cosmological constant and its "anthropic" (i.e. life-friendly) value, the anthropic principle as observational selection, the principle of mediocrity as a new tool for cosmological predictions, the possibility of an origin of the whole cosmos "out of nothing" and without a cause due to quantum tunneling, and the danger of a "vacuum decay" in the far future which would destroy our observable universe completely.This splendid book is well understandable for laymen and also highly recommendable for more advanced readers. It is concise, very informative but not overloaded, challenging and thought-provoking, it is up-to-date, witty, has nice anecdotes, excellent illustrations and cartoons. I enjoyed reading every single page. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/392539845-many-worlds-in-one-the-search-for-other-universes](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/392539845-many-worlds-in-one-the-search-for-other-universes) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
