Letter: Spot the difference

Published 3 December 2014

From Paul Baron

I suspect that the key question about a multiverse (27 September, p 32) is not whether multiple universes exist, but whether the difference between them is as small as the spin state of a single electron – or so great that mathematics itself is useful only in ours, and does not apply in others. (Or, of course, something in between.)
