The designs of these universes do not have to be the same as our universe, but we have no clear view of what the ?other? designs might be. It is suspected that they can obey different laws of physics and different constants of physics, which further implies different chemistry, biology, and life. Some say that the universes within the multiverse allow for different mathematics or even for different metamathematical logic. This book discusses most of the above aspects of the multiverse concept starting with the philosophy, through all the mathematical and physical subtleties, finally exploring the origin of life and consciousness. This book provides a satisfying intellectual exploration of front-edge advances in contemporary cosmology. 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 606 $aAstronomy, space & time$2bicssc 610 $amultiverse 610 $aLeibniz 610 $aother worlds 610 $amultiverse levels 610 $ahabitability 610 $astars 610 $aquantum cosmology 610 $aorigin of the universe 610 $atime reversal symmetry 610 $aplanets 610 $alife 610 $avarying constants 610 $aanthropic principle 610 $amultiverse entanglement 610 $amultiverse tests 610 $amass extinctions 610 $astring theory 610 $astring landscape 610 $adark energy 610 $acreation from nothing 610 $asoft entry 610 $aquantum gravity 610 $aWheeler-de Witt-equation 610 $aBohm-like interpretation 610 $avolume-quantisation 610 $aspace atoms 610 $ainformation storage and transfer 610 $aphilosophy of multiverse 610 $acategories of multiverses 610 $adifferent physics universes 610 $asuperstring multiverse 610 $adark multiverse 610 $auniverse-antiuniverse pair creation 610 $amultiverse habitability: stars, planets, life, consciousness 610 $afalsifiability of multiverses 615 7$aResearch & information: general 615 7$aAstronomy, space & time 700 $aAlonso-Serrano$b Ana$4edt$01320363 702 $aD?browski$b Mariusz P$4edt 702 $aNaumann$b Thomas$4edt 702 $aAlonso-Serrano$b Ana$4oth 702 $aD?browski$b Mariusz P$4oth 702 $aNaumann$b Thomas$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557309403321 996 $aThe Multiverse$93034190 997 $aUNINA
