Synopsis

Everyone wonders, at some stage in their lives, what would have happened if things had turned out differently. According to the author of this book, things did, do and are turning out differently in a infinite set of parallel universes which are interwoven and are alternating, yet distinct, from our own universe. This book explores the outer limits of modern theoretical physics, with particular reference to the theoretical aspects of quantum mechanics and the possiblity of the existence of parallel universes.
