Synopsis From the world-renowned physicist and bestselling author of The Elegant Universe and The Fabric of the Cosmos; a captivating exploration of deep time and humanity's search for purposeIn 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.
