Michael Moorcock by Michael Moorcock7/7/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() The idea that there are an infinite number of worlds as real as our own provides quite the platform for elaboration and conjecture by authors of today and tomorrow. Moorcock's multiverse was explained in detail in his introduction to his graphic novel Michael Moorcock's Multiverse (1999) in which he describes a quasi-infinite series of worlds separated by size and mass, effectively invisible to one another and varying very slightly, with major differences appearing only between widely separated realities in the 'chain'. This Multiverse concept has been accepted by Physics as the Many World Theorem lending authenticity to Moorcock's ideas. The Multiverse was introduced in Moorcock's early novel The Sundered Worlds (1963) and is an imaginative construct of transitorally intersecting parallel and alternate worlds, an apparently infinite series of concurrent, sometimes intertwined universes between which the Eternal Champion moves. ![]() Central to this ongoing series is Moorcock's concept of the Multiverse. One of the most impressive aspects of this achievement is the way in which he has linked much of his fiction together into one monumental sequence, The Tale of The Eternal Champion. Some of Moorcock's genre fiction is borderline SF, though most of it is better described as fantasy. The Mammoth Encyclopedia of Science Fiction. ![]()
