Mind, Matter, and Our Search for Meaning in an Evolving Universe
Brian Greene
- From
- the
- world-renowned
- physicist
- and
- bestselling
- author
- of
- The
- Elegant
- Universe
- and
- The
- Fabric
- of
- the
- Cosmos,
- a
- captivating
- exploration
- of
- deep
- time
- and
- humanity's
- search
- for
- purposeIn
- both
- time
- and
- space,
- the
- cosmos
- is
- astoundingly
- vast,
- and
- yet
- is
- governed
- by
- simple,
- elegant,
- universal
- mathematical
- laws.On
- this
- cosmic
- timeline,
- our
- human
- era
- is
- spectacular
- but
- fleeting.
- Someday,
- we
- know,
- we
- will
- all
- die.
- And,
- we
- know,
- so
- too
- will
- the
- universe
- itself.Until
- the
- End
- of
- Time
- is
- Brian
- Greene's
- 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
- universe's
- 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.
- Through
- a
- series
- of
- nested
- stories
- that
- explain
- distinct
- but
- interwoven
- layers
- of
- reality-from
- the
- quantum
- mechanics
- to
- consciousness
- to
- black
- holes-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.
