POPSBook Review --- 'The Hidden Reality' the enormous success of The Elegant Universe, which introduced the subject to a lay audience and was promptly turned into a PBS series, allowed Greene to position himself as the unofficial spokesman for string theory. His sequel, The Fabric of the Cosmos (2004), delved deeper into questions about the nature of space and plumped for a string-theory revolution, even as the theory itself was facing an increasingly stiff challenge from the physics community. Greene's latest, The Hidden Reality, answers the challenge and champions the string-theoretic cause by setting out arguments for a seemingly ridiculous concept: that our universe is one among many.

POPSCould the Universe Be A Giant Quantum Computer? (Today's Most Popular) Lloyd has proposed that a black hole could serve as a quantum computer and data storage bank. In black holes, he says, Hawking radiation, which escapes the black hole, unintentionally carries information about material inside the black hole. This is because the matter falling into the black hole becomes entangled with the radiation leaving its vicinity, and this radiation captures information on nearly all the matter that falls into the black hole. “We might be able to figure out a way to essentially program the black hole by putting in the right collection of matter,” he suggests.

POPSThe big bounce vs Big Bang Edwin Hubble and Stephen Hawking, and the discovery of Cosmic background radiation amongst other contributers drafted the Big Bang Theory, but Each knew it was a theory, and destined to be qualified significantly as our our technology and depth of understanding progresses. Big bang is a Theory, not a conclusion. Ask Stephen Hawking to consider any new theories, and evidence, and he would be delighted to consider the evidence. He's a scientist, and a Mathematician, who knows how limited our theories can be with what we know. He is looking for what happened, not what may have happened,.
