Letter: Our unique bubble

Published 3 June 2009

From Jerry Barton

There were excellent illustrations in your article on the multiverse (2 May, p 35).

Does the choice of bubble wrap illustrate the hills and valleys of the multiverse? I wondered why the bubbles were all deflated – and then asked myself, who had all the fun? Is there perhaps one unique inflated bubble somewhere in the picture?
