Incidents Of Travel In The Multiverse

"Al and Al's 'Incidents of Travel in the Multiverse' is a compelling insight into the artists' own words and images, recording the three journeys they have undertaken to create their epic sci-fi trilogy. This cosmic travelogue includes a vivid account of the filmmakers' collaboration with Philip Glass and physicist Brian Greene, who provides his own essay elegantly describing the mathematics underpinning the Multiverse. The book continues its journey across time and space with insights on their work by world-renowned mythographer and author Marina Warner adn a sensational new account of the Multiverse from the mind of legendary graphic novelist Grant Morrison."--Back cover.

An anthology of enlightening writing by an award-winning critic that engages with art in its social, political, and aesthetic contexts. Art writing at its most useful should share the dynamism, fluidity, and passions of the objects of its enquiry, argues author Marina Warner in this new anthology. Here, some of Warner’s most compelling writing captures the visual experience of the work of a diverse group of artists—with a notable focus on the inner lives of women—through an exploration of the range of stories and symbols to which they allude in their work. Warner vividly describes this imagery, covering the connection with animals in the work of Louise Bourgeois, the Catholicism of Damien Hirst, performance as a medium of memory in the installations of Joan Jonas, and more. Rather than drawing on connoisseurship, Warner’s approach grows principally out of anthropology and mythology. Accompanied by illustrations of the works being described, Marina Warner’s writing unites the imagination of artist, writer, and reader, creating a reading experience that parallels the intrinsic pleasure of looking at art. This book will appeal to any student of art history, those interested in philosophy, feminism, and more generally in the humanities.

As if the Multiverse wasn't confusing enough! Time travel has now entered the fray, and it plays an integral role in the final chapter of this adventure. Alexander the Great and King Solomon (yes, that Alexander the Great and that King Solomon) have conscripted Art, Ginny, and Drillbot into the Bureau of Time Travel, an agency tasked with diplomatically resolving problems across the Space-Time-Multinuum. The group must travel backward through time to stop a threat even greater than cosmic teddy bears: the Conspiracy of the Gods, a plot by God-Art that is so nefarious, it might destroy the entire Multiverse. In this novel, destinies will be reached, true love will be found, mysteries will be solved, order will be restored, the best mullet joke in the history of the Multiverse will be told, and Art will finally show some character development. Well, nearly half of those assertions are true. Praise for AND NOW, TIME TRAVEL: "I thought this author only wrote quintessential Multiversal Adventure Stories, but now he's gone and written the quintessential Multiversal-Time-Travel Adventure Story, too. Who would have guessed such genius could all flow from one guy?" - At least one person on one of the infinite earths in the Space-Time-Multinuum, probably "I think anything you do is great, sweetie! Now, come here and lemme pinch those cheeks!" -The Author's Grandmother

It has been more than sixty years since physicist Hugh Everett III first proposed his Many Worlds Interpretation and scientists have been arguing about it ever since. This is because the implications of 'Many Worlds' is just so mind boggling. Not only is our universe or dimension of reality not the only dimension of reality, but it's just one of an infinite number of other parallel worlds and, yes, all of those 'other' worlds are tucked in right next to ours. Perhaps only the thinnest of veils separates us from all the rest. Many scientists still say the Many Worlds theory carries too much metaphysical baggage. On the other hand, a survey conducted of a cross section of the physicists around the world just ten years ago showed that 68% of them now agree that the Many Worlds Interpretation is either 'true' or 'mostly true'. So now it seems that even the most mainstream of scientists agree that we live in a universe teeming with parallel worlds. Perhaps fewer are on board with time travel but, as we have seen, the two always seem to go together, or at least have something to do with one another. In the final analysis, it's not science that is going to convince the world that parallel universes are real and that time travel is possible. Sooner or later, the truth is going to be undeniable. When enough people have real-life encounters with a time-slip or a slip into another dimension, sooner or later a critical mass will develop until a consensus is reached. That consensus may very well be: Of course we live in a Multiverse; yes we can have contact and interaction with all of those other parallel worlds, and that also means we can travel in time. We know it is true and possible because it happens every day. Contents Include: RAF Bentwaters Circles The Skinwalker Ranch Doorways Fata Morgana"

**WINNER OF THE 2020 NOBEL PRIZE IN PHYSICS** The Road to Reality is the most important and ambitious work of science for a generation. It provides nothing less than a comprehensive account of the physical universe and the essentials of its underlying mathematical theory. It assumes no particular specialist knowledge on the part of the reader, so that, for example, the early chapters give us the vital mathematical background to the physical theories explored later in the book. Roger Penrose's purpose is to describe as clearly as possible our present understanding of the universe and to convey a feeling for its deep beauty and philosophical implications, as well as its intricate logical interconnections. The Road to Reality is rarely less than challenging, but the book is leavened by vivid descriptive passages, as well as hundreds of hand-drawn diagrams. In a single work of colossal scope one of the world's greatest scientists has given us a complete and unrivalled guide to the glories of the universe that we all inhabit. 'Roger Penrose is the most important physicist to work in relativity theory except for Einstein. He is one of the very few people I've met in my life who, without reservation, I call a genius' Lee Smolin
