The Fabric of the Cosmos

In 2011 I finished my first novel. (I mean I wrote one, not finally got around to reading one.) Watch this space for further dramatic news.

The book I wrote explores humanity’s struggle to find meaning in a bold new quantum reality: where objects can exist in several places at once; where time flows not just forwards, or backwards but slantways too; where concepts such as ‘space’ and 'causality' and 'punctuality' are meaningless; and where our universe is just one of an infinite number of possible realities, each appearing and expanding like a bubble in a limitless ocean, only to vanish in a wink and leave not a trace of its existence in the cosmic foam.

Or something like that. To be honest it's all a blur.

I couldn’t have written my book without Brian Greene’s The Fabric of the Cosmos, a ‘… grand tour of the universe and the best layman’s guide to current thinking on how everything works’.

It's a brilliant and bewildering book. I very much hope you enjoy it.

Matt.
