What is time in the modern understanding and why does it have exactly these properties? Why does time always move in the same direction? Why do irreversible processes exist? Twenty years ago, Stephen Hawking tried to explain time through the Big Bang theory. Now Sean Carroll, one of the leading theoretical physicists of our time, will introduce you to the fascinating paradigm of the arrow of time theory, which covers subjects from the entropy of quantum mechanics to time travel to the theory of information and the meaning of life. The book “Eternity. In Search of a Final Theory of Time" is not just the next step towards understanding why the Universe exists - it is an excellent read for a wide range of readers who are interested in physics and the structure of our world.
