Drawing on the latest measurements of the "ripples in time" that mark the birth of the universe, the author of this book goes beyond the Big Bang to address the questions of how and why the universe came into being, and what its future and evolution holds in store. His controversial contention is that the universe itself can be regarded as a living entity which is not unique, but has evolved through Darwinian selection among a multitude of rival universes competing for existence in spacetime.
