In a review of a book by Brian Greene ("The Hidden Reality"), the reviewer quotes this wonderful Times headline from 1919, when physical evidence of relativity first was observed by astronomers: "Lights All Askew in the Heavens, Men of Science More or Less Agog."

It also of course nicely echoes John Donne's poem about the Kepler/Copernicus/Newton universe: "Tis all in pieces, all coherence gone."

I know that readers of this blog must be very careful in handling books with a title like "The Hidden Reality," but this one does look like a great read -- and I am a believer, i.e. having faith beyond uinderstanding, in multiple universes:
