THE FABRIC OF THE COSMOS - BRIAN GREENE KARTONI...

From Brian Greene  one of the world's leading physicists and author of the Pulitzer Prize
finalist The Elegant Universe  comes a grand tour of the universe that makes us look at reality
in a completely different way.  Space and time form the very fabric of the cosmos. Yet they
remain among the most mysterious of concepts. Is space an entity? Why does time have a
direction? Could the universe exist without space and time? Can we travel to the past? Greene
has set himself a daunting task: to explain non-intuitive  mathematical concepts like String
Theory  the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle  and Inflationary Cosmology with analogies drawn
from common experience. From Newton's unchanging realm in which space and time are absolute  to
Einstein's fluid conception of spacetime  to quantum mechanics' entangled arena where vastly
distant objects can instantaneously coordinate their behavior  Greene takes us all  regardless
of our scientific backgrounds  on an irresistible and revelatory journey to the new layers of
reality that modern physics has discovered lying just beneath the surface of our everyday
world.
