Audio Book Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

From the world-renowned physicist and best-selling author of The Elegant Universe comes this captivating exploration of deep time and humanity's search for purpose

In 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.

  • Bill M.

    This book has left a significant impression on me and I hope it will on others too. Brian Greene's eloquent and intelligent narrative really captured my imagination as he relayed his vast knowledge of theoritical phyisics - from well trodden discoveries of the greats of the past to the state of the art of today and on to possible future states of the cosmos. He then turns his analytical brain beyond physics and quantum mechanics to the beginnings of life, genetics, physiology, biology, the mind, philisophy and even aspects of religion giving what I think are the most compelling arguments I've come actross. The author indeed takes us on a wonderful journey in plain and digestible language and I for one have been moved fundamentally and will forever appreciate to the full the short time we have on this beautiful planet. Everyone with a desire to understand more about where we came from and where we are going needs to read this book ... I for one will be reading/listening to it again!
