Until the End of Time: 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 comes this captivating exploration of deep time and humanity's search for purpose
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. 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.
