Brian Green is a leading theoretical physicist and renowned popularizer of science. His books helped many people get acquainted with string theory and other important ideas of modern physics. “Until the End of Time” is an attempt to find a place for humans in the picture of the world that modern science describes. Green shows how, in the confrontation between two great forces - entropy and evolution - the cosmos unfolds with its galaxies, stars, planets and, finally, life. Why is there something and not nothing? How do myriads of moving particles acquire the ability to feel and think? How can we comprehend the meaning of life in the chilling prospect of trillions of years in the future, where any thought is ultimately doomed to fade away? Greene does not always have ready-made answers, but the scientific context makes the search for them incomparably more interesting.
