Description
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.
