On hidden realities (part 6)

This is the last part of a series of posts on (a few selected) hidden realities : many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, multiverse linked to the space-time geometries and dynamics, higher dimensional multiverse, holographic multiverse and simulated multiverse.

For the previous posts, please see:

• On hidden realities (part 1) – Many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics
• On hidden realities (part 2) – Space-time geometries and dynamics
• On hidden realities (part 3) – Higher dimensional universes
• On hidden realities (part 4) – Holographic principle
• On hidden realities (part 5) – Simulated reality

This last post is a small bibliography based on several books taken from my own library. This is why some of these books are in english and … some of them are in french. Their technicalities range from introductory level (no degree required, most are in French) to highly technical (most are in English).
