Book Overview

An elegant, witty, and engaging exploration of the riddle of time, which examines the consequences of Einstein's theory of relativity and offers startling suggestions about what recent research may reveal.
The eternal questions of science and religion were profoundly recast by Einstein's theory of relativity and its implications that time can be warped by motion and gravitation, and that it cannot be meaningfully divided into past, present,...

Great revealing information, easy to understand

This is by far one of the best books I have read in a long time. It explains strange ideas in time and quantum physics and such. It was also very explanatory and easy to comprehend, even to me, a 13 year old.

The best book out there for understanding this universe

This is a masterpiece. I have read all of the relativity/time books by Hawking, Feynman, Rohrlich, etc., and this is the best by far. It is extremely easy to understand, plus Davies presents ideas that most authors leave out (such as Wheeler's single particle universe). If you have any interest in relativity or the nature of time, read this one.

Can "Time" be really non-existent?

Paul Davies doesn't mince words. I just finished reading this book so I flipped to page 1 and started over again. It's a very enjoyable, exciting journey. I agree with the first reviewer who said it reminded him of reading a novel. The book is somewhat technical and some of it was over my head, but I read it because I knew it would be slightly beyond my grasp. I like the challenge. I liked the chapters on quantum physics the most. Oh, I'm no writer, so I'll just say it's an excellent, entertaining, incredibly thought-provoking journey to a place I wanted to go!
