Barrow presents an unforgettable tour of the strange and wonderful universes that modern physics posits might--just might--be out there.

"Of the four fundamental forces of nature, gravity might be the least understood and yet the one with which we are most intimate. From the months each of us spent suspended in the womb anticipating birth to the moments when we wait for sleep to transport us to other realities, we are always aware of gravity.
