In Adams’ best-known photographs of the American landscape, one can’t escape the sense of high drama he conveyed. Looking at the body of Adams’ work, one could say that his images harken to the big, dramatic Romantic symphonies of Beethoven more than the more mild-mannered Classical chamber suites of Haydn. He famously described a negative as the score and the print as the performance.

Each represents such a vast extension of what we usually call the cosmos (or Universe) that he suggests we should use the word multiverse for these extensions. Tegmark argues that it is bigger and stranger in four main ways, each one building on the last. Indeed, it is bigger and stranger in ways you probably have not thought about - even though you are a reader of Plus, and so of course both very clever and very imaginative!
