This Book, conceived as one of the scientific-writings of Author Prof. Ben Swetmore, and undoubtedly his longest science based writing to date, explores various theories about what the structure of our universe and a potential multi-verse might look like, whilst also exploring what the dimensional plane that all of these universes may inhabit could theoretically look like. Discussing various theories to the matter along the way, Swetmore brings to us all of the most likely theories for the structure of how a multiverse might work, and how all of the universes could co-exist in the same plane of space-time.
