  1. We've built quantum computers...but they are so elementary right now that they are useless.
  2. "Mathematical physics" by "Donald H. Menzel" is a good book on electromagnetism and gravity. It has sections for both classical electromagnetism and GR.
  3. Evolution occuring in different enviroments, natural selection in general, genetic mutation billions of years ago which--over time--magnified, and the list goes on and on.
  4. http://www.phys.unsw.edu.au/PHYS3410/lectures.html Easy to understand if you know the math...which I'm assuming you do.
  5. The concept of distance between two "worlds" (nowadays you use the world "world" instead of "universe" because, as has been pointed out, there can only be one universe) is irrelevant. In most theories of the multiverse (I say most because there are multiple theories), the "space" inbetween the different worlds is more of a topological space, so there is no distance, just relationships. There are also "many worlds" (ie multiverse) theories in which every world exists at the instance of the collapse of the wave function of a particle, and the particle exists in all of the worlds, meaning it travels every possible path. I'm sure you've heard of this, because it is a popular subject in pop science books. Anyways, Feynmann used this idea to describe the wave function propagator, and, amazingly enough, it describes the way the universe works. So, even though you might not believe it, it has been shown by experiment to be a possible correct theory.
  6. It depends on which GUT theory your talking about. Some of the more famous ones are Loop quantum gravity, string theory, and twister theory.
  7. I would recommend Bohm's book on QM, titled--amazingly enough--"Quantum Mechanics". This was the first book I read on QM, and it is split into two parts, the "old" theory, and the "new" theory. Anyways, the first half of the book is easy enough to understand without calculus, although your going to need it for the fun stuff. But that isn't really too much of a problem, calculus is easy enough to teach yourself. I was 15 when I picked up a calc book, and I learned enough to get a 5 on the AP Calc BC test and on the Calc AB subscore.
