Parallel Universes: The Search for Other Worlds

I did find that this book somewhat repetitive, as Mr. Wolf tended to "over-explain" aspects of the theories presented in "Parallel Universes: The Search for Other Worlds". However, I strongly suspect that this quandary had more to do with the Touchstone/Simon & Schuster editor's own lack in grasping of the subject matter, resulting in virtually a word-for-word transcription of the entire original manuscript into the final book form.Considering this likelihood, this book is a true gem! For anyone interested in science and all possibilities, it is well worth a read by both the novice and the well educated. Many books are available on quantum physics, space, time as the fourth dimension, etc. To date, though, this is the only book I have been able to find that puts all of these theories into a veritable nutshell. It delves not only into possibilities, but also probabilities, which include aspects of every major discovery in physics, astronomy, and mathematics since the time of Pythagoras.It is not a book for the faint of heart, who are secure in their understanding of their every day "reality". It is, instead, for those who intuitively know that there's something more to what we perceive as reality, more than the eye can see. Sorry, there aren't any illustrations for those needing visual aids. Mr. Wolf mentions in here that one needs an imagination to be a good scientist and I happen to agree (I am not scientifically inclined, nor mathematically for that matter, but I have always had a good imagination). The problem with attempting to provide diagrams and illustrations for the topic being covered in "Parallel Universes" is that you can't draw a fourth dimension on a piece of paper.I regard Fred Alan Wolf's book as a wonderful work of science and poetry; the observer and the observed being one and the same; the fourth dimension of time broadening our understanding of the world around us, including the one most of us can't "see". Read it and find out just how close we are to solving the eternal question, "Is this all that there is?"

its just what I thought it would be and I am pleased.

I can't understand why anyone would give this most interesting book a low rating. Apache metaphysics seem very much like Quantum Mechanics. Quantum Mechanics ideas work in daily life, at human scale- if you are willing to notice this. The best single application of this is probably Matrix Energetics: The Science and Art of Transformation Other books useful to putting QM to work include The Future Is Yours: Do Something About It!, House of Shattering Light: Life as an American Indian Mystic, Journey to the Ancestral Self: The Native Lifeway Guide to Living in Harmony with the Earth Mother (Bk.1), Neville Goddard's books, The Key to The Secret: How to Manifest from the Heart, and The Reality Creation Technique. Other writers say other things, that are useful, I won't repeat them. This book is well worth reading. Most of what is taught in school is wrong, the world is a whole lot bigger. This book is a good one on the path to self-education, which is the only kind of education that matters.

Wolf's books are generally written very well, and this book is no exception. I enjoy his writing style greatly. Quantum Physics is very interesting, if it is explained well, and it is, here.

Very valuable for consciousness students.

Haven't read it yet.... is a recommended reading from the book "The Game of Life" by Florence Shinn which was excellent....

A good book for to understand the "Universe" today!.

Good read.

It arrived this moment... a day late ; so hang in there for a review!!!Thanks a million!!!

A great book, I have read it twice and it keeps the grey matter churning, to be honest it did take two reads for me too get my head round it, but it certainly makes you think and answers a thing or two, highly recommend

Book arrived like just like this in the envelopeNo protective cover on top or anything and that would be fine if it wasnt torn up there. I’m a neat freak with my books and I CARE about that. Too excited to read this now I gotta send it back -and order again , just to get it after the weekend… Frustrating.

Fascinating
