It was mentioned as a good book detailing the theory of the string landscape, which relates to the vast number of possible universes that could be created from the underlying theory of string theory.
So when you look at string theory, which...Just remind me, Leonard Susskind is the one who's a big exponent of the holographic universe.

It was mentioned as a good book detailing the theory of the string landscape, which relates to the vast number of possible universes that could be created from the underlying theory of string theory.
So when you look at string theory, which...Just remind me, Leonard Susskind is the one who's a big exponent of the holographic universe.
So in the string landscape, the idea is that in string theory, it turns out you can have, there's a number that they calculate. I don't know how they do it actually, but it's something, well, I do know how they do it.
But essentially 10 to the power of 500 different possibilities. So one with 500 knots after it. These are the different ways that you can produce laws of physics like the ones we see from the underlying theory.
And that was seen as a really disappointing...
So the string landscape, as I said, Leonard Susskind's book is great on this.
