Having been the author of more than 500 research papers, he has made important contributions to multiple topics, including the origin of cosmic microwave background radiation, galaxy clustering and formation, quasars, etc. Lord Rees has been interested in anthropic reasoning as well as the opinion that the observable universe is a part of a “multiverse”.
