Document Summary
One of the only observable tools that the cosmologist has for verification purposes is the cmb. Rubenstein claims that she simply does not have the resources to formulate an opinion - but i do have a hunch . The shape, the number, and character of the cosmos might well depend on the question we ask it - like how light can act either like a wave or a particle. Understand the 4 aims of the book and method of delivery. Cusa and bruno are good examples of divine infinity (cosmic multiplicity cosmology, while retaining proper theology) Christianity absorbs the work of plato (augustine, city of god) and aristotle (thomas aquinas) - Roman catholic church then carries singularity into western thought. Each of these endeavors contributes to the book"s central philosophical project, which is to find a way to come to terms conceptually with the multiverse .
