'Compulsively readable...Green threatens to do for string theory what Stephen Hawking did for holes' New York TimesIn this international bestseller, Columbia University professor Brian Greene provides, in laymanâ??s terms, a comprehensive demystification of string theory.

From the bestselling author of The Elegant Universe, Brian Greene's The Fabric of the Cosmos takes us on an irresistible and revelatory journey through the biggest of the big questions. What is reality? Could we exist without space and time? Can we travel to the past? What are the limits of the universe? Brian Greene has made the mysteries of space and time accessible to millions with his acclaimed writings and award-winning TV series. Now he reveals a world more beautiful and bizarre than we could have imagined, where 'dark matter' reigns, space warps and wiggles through eleven dimensions, minute particles dance, fizz and teleport across vast distances, everything is made of vibrating strings and, like an ant on a lily-pad, we may be floating on a sliver of spacetime. Revealing new layers of reality that lie just beneath the surface of our everyday lives, this grand tour of the universe will make you look at the world in a completely new way. 'A must-read' Sunday Times 'Greene takes us to the limits of space and time' Guardian 'Sends the reader's imagination hurtling through the universe on an astonishing ride' The New York Times Brian Greene is well known to many fans as a populariser of theoretical physics. He is the author of the bestselling books about string theory, The Elegant Universe, which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for nonfiction, The Fabric of the Cosmos, and The Hidden Reality. Educated at Harvard and Oxford, he has taught at both Harvard and Cornell and has been Professor of Physics and Mathematics at Columbia University since 1996.

Brian Greene's The Hidden Reality: Parallel Universes and the Deep Laws of the Cosmos explores our most current scientific understanding of the universe, the 'string theory' that might hold the key to unifying nature's laws, and our continuing quest to know more. There was a time when 'universe' meant all there is. Everything. Yet, as physicist Brian Greene's extraordinary book shows, ours may be just one universe among many, like endless reflections in a mirror. He takes us on a captivating exploration of parallel worlds - from a multiverse where an infinite number of your doppelgangers are reading this sentence, to vast oceans of bubble universes and even multiverses made of mathematics - showing just how much of reality's true nature may be hidden within them. 'If extraterrestrials land tomorrow and demand to know what the human mind is capable of accomplishing ... hand them a copy of this book' The New York Times Book Review 'A writer of exceptional clarity and charm ... every chapter opens level after level of previously unimaginable, mind-expanding realities' Oliver Sacks 'The book serves well as an introduction to the multiverse and will open up many people's eyes' John Gribbin Brian Greene is well known to many fans as a populariser of theoretical physics.

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.

The bestselling author of The Elegant Universe and The Fabric of the Cosmos tackles perhaps the most mind-bending question in modern physics and cosmology: Is our universe the only universe? There was a time when "universe" meant all there is. Everything. Yet, a number of theories are converging on the possibility that our universe may be but one among many parallel universes populating a vast multiverse. Here, Briane Greene, one of our foremost physicists and science writers, takes us on a breathtaking journey to a multiverse comprising an endless series of big bangs, a multiverse with duplicates of every one of us, a multiverse populated by vast sheets of spacetime, a multiverse in which all we consider real are holographic illusions, and even a multiverse made purely of math--and reveals the reality hidden within each. Using his trademark wit and precision, Greene presents a thrilling survey of cutting-edge physics and confronts the inevitable question: How can fundamental science progress if great swaths of reality lie beyond our reach? The Hidden Reality is a remarkable adventure through a world more vast and strange than anything we could have imagined.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER - From one of the world's leading physicists and author of the Pulitzer Prize finalist The Elegant Universe, comes "an astonishing ride" through the universe (The New York Times) 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.

An accomplished professor of physics and mathematics unravels the complexities of superstring theory for the average reader in a lucid and entertaining account, using analogies from everyday life to explain the elegant underlying principles of the universe, in a new edtion of the best-selling study, the companion to a three-part Nova special on PBS in Fall 2003. 30,000 first printing.

Till tidens slut är en vetenskaplig exposé över den moderna kosmologins svindlande upptäckter och människans sökande efter mening, givet vetskapen om hennes försumbara roll i universum.I en kosmologisk berättelse från big bang till uppkomsten av medvetet liv, utforskar den amerikanske fysikern Brian Greene människans försök att begripa sin besynnerliga existens genom mytbildning, konst, filosofi och vetenskap.Från partiklar till planeter, materia till mening, kosmisk ordning till entropins stigande oordning presenterar Greene en hissnande bild av vårt universum. Men också en teori om den grundläggande drivkraften bakom mänsklig strävan – en önskan att forma någonting beständigt ur den tillfälliga, ändliga tillvaro som är allas våra liv.

Brian Greene uurib oma mõttenõtkes raamatus nii kosmost kui ka meie püüdlusi seda mõista. Greene viib meid ajarännule, alustades seni täpseimast teadmisest universumi sünni kohta ja jõudes selle lõpule nii ligi, kui teadus võimaldab. Ta uurib, kuidas esialgsest kaosest tekkisid elu ja mõistus ning kuidas meie meeled, jõudes arusaamisele omaenda püsitusest, püüavad erineval viisil anda kogemusele tähendust: loos, müütides, religioonis, loomingulises väljenduses, teaduses, tõeotsingutes ja igatsuses ajatu ehk igavese järele. Oma lugudes, mis valgustavad erinevaid, omavahel põimunud reaalsuse kihte - alates kvantmehaanikast kuni teadvuse ja mustade aukudeni -, selgitab Greene ettekujutust meie tekkest, täpsustab pilti sellest, kus me praegu oleme, ja annab kindlama arusaama, kuhu oleme teel.Silmapaistvat tarkust, sügavat kultuuritundmist ja kaunist keelekasutust ühendav teadusfilosoofiline raamat tunnistati 2020. aastal New York Timesi menukiks.Brian Greene on Columbia Ülikooli füüsika ja matemaatika professor, kelle teadustöö on seotud stringiteooriaga. Ta on entusiastlik teaduse populariseerija ning Maailma Teadusfestivali kaasalgatajaid. Brian Greene on kirjutanud veel populaarsed raamatud "The Elegant Universe", "The Fabric of the Cosmos" ja "The Hidden Reality".
