In the successor to his provocative bestseller The Mind of
God, the cosmologist Paul Davies tackles another big question: Why
does the universe seem so well suited for life? One popular
explanation is the “multiverse theory,” which sounds like it came
straight from a science fiction plot. It posits that our universe
is just one of an infinite number of universes–each slightly
different. Only in those rare universes where things are
accidentally “just right” for life could observers emerge to puzzle
over the fact. In The Goldilocks Enigma, Davies ponders this and
other seemingly bizarre answers to the grand question of existence.
He offers lucid de*ions of the science behind these theories
and delights in their philosophical implications. Once again,
Davies invites us to think about the cosmos and our place within it
in new and thrilling ways.
