Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From one of the world’s leading physicists and author of the Pulitzer Prize finalist The Elegant Universe, comes “an astonishing ride” through the universe (The New York Times) that makes us look at reality in a completely different way. Space and time form the very fabric of the cosmos. Yet they remain among the most mysterious of concepts. Is space an entity? Why does time have a direction? Could the universe exist without space and time? Can we travel to the past? Greene has set himself a daunting task: to explain non-intuitive, mathematical concepts like String Theory, the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, and Inflationary Cosmology with analogies drawn from common experience. From Newton’s unchanging realm in which space and time are absolute, to Einstein’s fluid conception of spacetime, to quantum mechanics’ entangled arena where vastly distant objects can instantaneously coordinate their behavior, Greene takes us all, regardless of our scientific backgrounds, on an irresistible and revelatory journey to the new layers of reality that modern physics has discovered lying just beneath the surface of our everyday world.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A captivating exploration of deep time and humanity's search for purpose, from the world-renowned physicist and best-selling author of The Elegant Universe. "Few humans share Greene’s mastery of both the latest cosmological science and English prose." —The New York Times Until the End of Time is Brian Greene's breathtaking new exploration of the cosmos and our quest to find meaning in the face of this vast expanse. Greene takes us on a journey from the big bang to the end of time, exploring how lasting structures formed, how life and mind emerged, and how we grapple with our existence through narrative, myth, religion, creative expression, science, the quest for truth, and a deep longing for the eternal. From particles to planets, consciousness to creativity, matter to meaning—Brian Greene allows us all to grasp and appreciate our fleeting but utterly exquisite moment in the cosmos.

Sample Book Insights: #1 I grew up reading books in my father’s bookcase, and while I was never forbidden to read them, I never saw anyone take one down. The books were massive tomes that seemed almost fused to the shelves. But the one that stood out was The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus. #2 I found it difficult to believe that scientific progress could make any difference to our assessment of life’s worth. If our experiences only paint a paltry portrait of reality, our appraisal of life would be thoroughly compromised. #3 Modern science has shown that human experience is often a misleading guide to the true nature of reality. The most important and influential of these revisions is the understanding of space and time, which has been shaped by modern physics. #4 Space and time are the two most important concepts in physics. They are the raw material underlying reality. Through his theories of relativity, Einstein revealed the principal role they play in the evolution of the universe.

Book excerpt: The writer sets as fundamental features for the basic structure of the Universe, an inversely proportional rate of change of Space over Time. Since Space is 3-dimensional also Time must be 3-dimensional. Both Space and Time units are integers and propagate scalar; thus in all directions simultaneously, like a balloon. This differs from the scientific view that puts matter in a 3-dimensional Space with a 1-dimensional Time. Ratios smaller than the speed of light form our known Cosmos and are in this theory called the material sector. Ratios that are larger than the speed of light form a so-called cosmic sector. In the cosmic sector everything works inverse. The ratio of one unit of Space over one unit of Time is the speed of light, which in this interpretation thus also has 3-dimensions. As such the light speed in 1-dimension can be exceeded by explosive force, for instance for stars as nova and for galaxies as quasar. This moves matter over the sector boundaries. Thus there is a continuous exchange of matter between both sectors. The conclusion ultimately is that the Universe is not accelerating and did not start with a Big Bang, but is cyclic. On these foundations, the writer diverts at the end into a personal vision on metaphysical connotations.
