Brian Green is a large theoretic physicist and the famous popularizer of science. His books helped many to get acquainted with the theory of strings and other most important ideas of modern physics.
“Until the end of the time” - an attempt to search for a place for a person in a picture of the world, which is described by modern science. Green shows how, in the confrontation of two great forces - entropy and evolution - space unfolds with his galaxies, stars, planets and, finally, life. Why is there something, but nothing? How do myriads of moving particles gain the ability to feel and think? How can we comprehend the meaning of life in the chilling perspective of the trillions of the years of the future, where any thought is eventually doomed to extinction?
Green does not always have ready -made answers, but the scientific context makes their search an incomparably more interesting activity
