The Universe Next Door (奇想、宇宙をゆく)
Marcus Chown
ISBN 4-393-32216-9 (Japanese translation)
In this book, Marcus Chown tells us amazing ideas around theoretical physics
especially how we can understand the universe and the origin of life.
For example:
- Some scientist suggests that quantum theory can be induced from the theory of general relativity!?
- Some scientist suggest that in the universe there can be regions where time goes by in reverse direction!?
- Some scientists support panspermia hypothesis seriously. That is, we can find out the origin of life outside the earth!
- Some scientists think it possible that some kinds of life form can live in the space!
- Nowadays, not a small number of scientists support many world interpretation!
- Nowadays, it's almost consensus that the space-time consists of more than 4 dimensions.
Actually, when Einstein proposed the theory of relativity, almost no one believed the theory, but now his theories form indispensable basis of theoretical physics.
I'm wondering if I can hear news that the origin of life was finally discovered
or the ultimate theory of everything was finally completed during my life. :)
