So the book is theoretical in many respects, but don't let that limit your thinking as to what all this means.
So the book is theoretical in many respects, but don't let that limit your thinking as to what all this means. It has profound implications for life and the future, so books like this are well worth the time to read and think about. Barrow starts with a survey of the cosmology viewpoints from Aristotle up to Schwarzschild circa 1915: some fanciful theories and some presaging modern theories in a naive sort of way. 1916 is the year Einstein introduced the theory of general relativity.
The Book of Universes book. This is a book about universes, a story that revolves around. Depending on what you are John D. Barrow's THE BOOK OF UNIVERSES is not a rollicking good read, but a book like this couldn't be. History only comes alive when you have characters that you care about, whom you can follow through various reversals - basically what makes a good novel a good novel. THE BOOK OF UNIVERSES is a history book, a survey of the development of physicists' theories about the universe. There is no plot, and instead of reversals there is evolution - a much slower phenomenon.

The Book of Universes gives us a stunning tour of these potential universes, introducing us to the brilliant physicists and mathematicians who first revealed these startling possibilities. John D. Barrow then explains the latest insights that physics and astronomy have to offer about our own universe, showing how they lead to the concept of the multiverse the universe of all possible universes.

“There can be few better guides to the bewildering array of potential universes, and none so readable or entertaining.”―Manjit Kumar, The Independent
Einstein’s theory of general relativity opens the door for the study of other possible universes―and weird universes at that. The Book of Universes gives us a stunning tour of these potential universes, introducing us to the brilliant physicists and mathematicians who first revealed these startling possibilities. John D. Barrow then explains the latest insights that physics and astronomy have to offer about our own universe, showing how they lead to the concept of the “multiverse”―the universe of all possible universes. 112 illustrationsMath Science
