    WE EACH EXIST FOR BUT A SHORT TIME, and in that time explore but a small part of the
    whole universe. But humans are a curious species. We wonder, we seek answers. Living in this
    vast world that is by turns kind and cruel, and gazing at the immense heavens above, people have
    always asked a multitude of questions: How can we understand the world in which we find
    ourselves? How does the universe behave? What is the nature of reality? Where did all this come
    from? Did the universe need a creator? Most of us do not spend most of our time worrying about
    these questions, but almost all of us worry about them some of the time.
    Traditionally these are questions for philosophy, but philosophy is dead. Philosophy has not kept
    up with modern developments in science, particularly physics. Scientists have become the bearers
    of the torch of discovery in our quest for knowledge. The purpose of this book is to give the
    answers that are suggested by recent discoveries and theoretical advances. They lead us to a new
    picture of the universe and our place in it that is very different from the traditional one, and
    different even from the picture we might have painted just a decade or two ago. Still, the first
    sketches of the new concept can be traced back almost a century.
    According to the traditional conception of the universe, objects move on well-defined paths and
    have definite histories. We can specify their precise position at each moment in time. Although
    that account is successful enough for everyday purposes, it was found in the 1920s that this
    “classical” picture could not account for the seemingly bizarre behavior observed on the atomic
    and subatomic scales of existence. Instead it was necessary to adopt a different framework, called
    quantum physics. Quantum theories have turned out to be remarkably accurate at predicting events
    on those scales, while also reproducing the predictions of the old classical theories when applied to
    the macroscopic world of daily life. But quantum and classical physics are based on very different
    conceptions of physical reality.
    Quantum theories can be formulated in many different ways, but what is probably the most
    intuitive description was given by Richard (Dick) Feynman, a colorful character who worked at
    the California Institute of Technology and played the bongo drums at a strip joint down the road.
    According to Feynman, a system has not just one history but every possible history. As we seek
    our answers, we will explain Feynman’s approach in detail, and employ it to explore the idea that
    the universe itself has no single history, nor even an independent existence. That seems like a
    radical idea, even to many physicists. Indeed, like many notions in today’s science, it appears to
    violate common sense. But common sense is based upon everyday experience, not upon the
    universe as it is revealed through the marvels of technologies such as those that allow us to gaze
    deep into the atom or back to the early universe.
    Until the advent of modern physics it was generally thought that all knowledge of the world could
    be obtained through direct observation, that things are what they seem, as perceived through our
    senses. But the spectacular success of modern physics, which is based upon concepts such as
    Feynman’s that clash with everyday experience, has shown that that is not the case. The naive
    view of reality therefore is not compatible with modern physics. To deal with such paradoxes we
    shall adopt an approach that we call model-dependent realism. It is based on the idea that our
    brains interpret the input from our sensory organs by making a model of the world. When such a model is successful at explaining events, we tend to attribute to it, and to the elements and
    concepts that constitute it, the quality of reality or absolute truth. But there may be different ways
    in which one could model the same physical situation, with each employing different fundamental
    elements and concepts. If two such physical theories or models accurately predict the same events,
    one cannot be said to be more real than the other; rather, we are free to use whichever model is
    most convenient.
    In the history of science we have discovered a sequence of better and better theories or models,
    from Plato to the classical theory of Newton to modern quantum theories. It is natural to ask: Will
    this sequence eventually reach an end point, an ultimate theory of the universe, that will include all
    forces and predict every observation we can make, or will we continue forever finding better
    theories, but never one that cannot be improved upon? We do not yet have a definitive answer to
    this question, but we now have a candidate for the ultimate theory of everything, if indeed one
    exists, called M-theory. M-theory is the only model that has all the properties we think the final
    theory ought to have, and it is the theory upon which much of our later discussion is based.
    M-theory is not a theory in the usual sense. It is a whole family of different theories, each of which
    is a good description of observations only in some range of physical situations. It is a bit like a
    map. As is well known, one cannot show the whole of the earth’s surface on a single map. The
    usual Mercator projection used for maps of the world makes areas appear larger and larger in the
    far north and south and doesn’t cover the North and South Poles. To faithfully map the entire
    earth, one has to use a collection of maps, each of which covers a limited region. The maps overlap
    each other, and where they do, they show the same landscape. M-theory is similar. The different
    theories in the M-theory family may look very different, but they can all be regarded as aspects of
    the same underlying theory. They are versions of the theory that are applicable only in limited
    ranges—for example, when certain quantities such as energy are small. Like the overlapping maps
    in a Mercator projection, where the ranges of different versions overlap, they predict the same
    phenomena. But just as there is no flat map that is a good representation of the earth’s entire
    surface, there is no single theory that is a good representation of observations in all situations.

    We will describe how M-theory may offer answers to the question of creation. According to M-theory,
    ours is not the only universe. Instead, M-theory predicts that a great many universes were created
    out of nothing. Their creation does not require the intervention of some supernatural being or god.
    Rather, these multiple universes arise naturally from physical law. They are a prediction of science. Each universe has many possible histories and many possible states at later times, that is,
    at times like the present, long after their creation. Most of these states will be quite unlike the
    universe we observe and quite unsuitable for the existence of any form of life. Only a very few
    would allow creatures like us to exist. Thus our presence selects out from this vast array only those
    universes that are compatible with our existence. Although we are puny and insignificant on the
    scale of the cosmos, this makes us in a sense the lords of creation.
    To understand the universe at the deepest level, we need to know not only how the universe
    behaves, but why.
    Why is there something rather than nothing?
    Why do we exist?
    Why this particular set of laws and not some other?
    This is the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything. We shall attempt to answer it
    in this book. Unlike the answer given in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, ours won’t be
    simply “42.”

    Randomness means lack of pattern or predictability in events.Randomness suggests a non-order or non-coherence in a sequence of symbols or steps, such that there is no intelligible pattern or combination.

    Thanks for the long-winded definition.
