The Copernicus complex : the quest for our cosmic (in)significance
Scharf, Caleb A., 1968-2014
Books, Manuscripts
Though the concept of 'the universe' suggests the containment of everything, the latest ideas in cosmology hint that our universe may be just one of a multitude of others - a single slice of an infinity of parallel realities. In 'The Copernicus Complex', the renowned astrophysicist and author Caleb Scharf takes us on a cosmic adventure like no other, from tiny microbes within the Earth to distant exoplanets and beyond, asserting that the age-old Copernican principle is in need of updating.
