Although everyone is familiar with the concept of time in everyday
life and has probably given thought to the question of how time
began, recent scientific developments in this field have not been
accessible in a simple understandable form. This book is important
as it presents to readers current ideas about the role of time in
theoretical cosmology.Recent observational discoveries, especially
that the expansion rate of the universe is accelerating, have
revolutionized the understanding of the energy content of the
universe. This development leads to new possibilities for the
beginning and end of cosmological time. This book emphasizes the
notion of entropy and describes how it is theoretically possible
that the universe may end in a finite time or that time can cycle
and never end.Provided here is twenty-first century scientific
knowledge, written by one of the world's most eminent theoretical
physicists, that will better enable the public to discuss further
the fascinating idea of time. It is ideally suited also for young
people considering a career in scientific research.
