People are starting to ask me about Stephen Hawking's new book, the Grand Design.
He seems to be pushing the idea of multiple universes as a way to solve the problem of the Anthropic Principle (that the natural constants of nature are fine tuned). He also appears to be claiming that the quantum theory implies the existence of multiple universes. Of course, this all implies that God does not exist....
None of these claims are particularly new or based on actual experimental evidence...
There is a cynical review by John Crace in the Guardian and a critical review by Karl Giberson in the Huffington Post.

Hi Ross,
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to reading this book, unfortunately The Gagging of God is a beast, so I won't get to it for a while!
Just wondering though - why does multiple universes imply that God DNE? I really like the multiple universe theory...
Cheers
