Discussion of the SCI-FI book “Dark Matter” by Blake Crouch.

Just finished reading an excellent and provocative book: Dark Matter by Blake Crouch. The image is a fantasized depiction of me discussing the physics of this book, which is based on the concept that we live in a multiverse, with three of my doppelgangers. What would be appealing would be a work of science fiction that built upon the premise of his book, that we live in a multiverse and that it’s possible for different versions of ourselves to travel between them and interact, but with a plot that wasn’t as gruesome and violent as the one in Blake Crouch’s book.

A discription of the book from the author can be read here: http://blakecrouch.com/dark-matter.php

The “Long Earth” is a name given to a possibly infinite series of parallel worlds that are similar to Earth, which can be reached by using an inexpensive device called a “Stepper”. The “close” worlds are almost identical to “our” Earth (referred to as “Datum Earth”), while others differ in greater and greater details.

Calabi–Yau Manifold Animation

This animation depicts two versions of the three dimensional projections of six dimensional Calabi-Yau Manifolds morphing into each other. These types of Manifolds are utilized to incorporate String Theory into Cosmology. Universes with different values for the Cosmological Constant can be depicted as having different forms of the Calabi-You Manifolds. It is theorized that a universe’s Cosmological Constant could change when the manifold of that universe morphs into a different type via quantum tunneling. For further discussion check out
Chapter 6 (New Thinking about an Old Constant – The Landscape Multiverse) of the book The Hidden Reality (Parallel Universes and the Deep Laws of the Cosmos) by Brian Greene.
Here is my video of the morphing of two Calabi–Yau Manifolds:
