From Brian Greene, one of the world's leading physicists and author
the Pulitzer Prize finalist "The Elegant Universe," comes a grand
tour of the universe 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.
