NATIONAL BESTSELLER ā¢ From one of the worldās leading physicists and author of the Pulitzer Prize finalist The Elegant Universe, comes āan astonishing rideā through the universe (The New York Times) 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 Newtonās unchanging realm in which space and time are absolute, to Einsteinās fluid conception of spacetime, to quantum mechanicsā 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.
