A fascinating account
*SIR ROGER PENROSE, Nobel laureate*
What if our universe, vast though it may be, is but an
infinitesimal fragment of reality? What would this 'multiverse' be
like? And how could we possibly test the idea? There is no better
guide to the bizarre, and sometimes paradoxical, cosmic super-realm
than Laura Mersini-Houghton
*PAUL DAVIES, author of What’s Eating the Universe?*
From one of the world's most renowned cosmologists, Before the Big
Bang offers insights into the Big Bang and, beyond it, into the
majestic world of a quantum multiverse
*STEPHON ALEXANDER, author of Fear of a Black Universe*
A fascinating and unusual hybrid of pop science and memoir... The
author's explanation of such exotic ideas is vivid and
good-humoured, and much enlivened by tableaux from her education in
Albania
*Daily Telegraph, 5**
The age-old cosmological question of how and why the Big Bang
happened has never been tackled with such aplomb
*Daily Telegraph, *Books of the Year**
