Until the End of Time: Mind, Matter, and Our Search for Meaning in an Evolving U

Description: Until the End of Time by Brian Greene From the world-renowned physicist and bestselling author of The Elegant Universe comes this captivating exploration of deep time and humanitys search for purposeUntil the End of Time is Brian Greenes breathtaking new exploration of the cosmos and our quest to understand it. Greene takes us on a journey across time, from our most refined understanding of the universes beginning, to the closest science can take us to the very end. He explores how life and mind emerged from the initial chaos, and how our minds, in coming to understand their own impermanence, seek in different ways to give meaning to experience- in story, myth, religion, creative expression, science, the quest for truth, and our longing for the timeless, or eternal. Greene provides us with a clearer sense of how we came to be, a finer picture of where we are now, and a firmer understanding of where we are headed.Yet all this understanding, which arose with the emergence of life, will dissolve with its conclusion. Which leaves us with one realization- during our brief moment in the sun, we are tasked with the charge of finding our own meaning.Let us embark.

Review A cracking read...Greene serves up plenty of revelatory detail... If you want to know how everything got here and where its going, read this book. -- Stephen Bleach * Sunday Times *Until the End of Time is encyclopaedic in its ambition and its erudition, often heartbreaking, stuffed with too many profundities that I wanted to quote, as well as anecdotes from Greenes own life - of which we should wish for more - that had me laughing ... A love letter to the ephemeral cosmic moment when everything is possible. -- Dennis Overbye * New York Times *It takes a storyteller to explain the sciences, and few are as gifted as Brian Greene. Theres real wonder in his descriptions of galaxies and planets forming, and of life blooming after that. It is all part of a fleeting moment in the cosmos - one that will eventually end - yet Greene finds meaning and optimism in everything around us. -- Chris Schluep, Amazon Editor Review Text A cracking read...Greene serves up plenty of revelatory detail...
