Narrated by: Brian Greene

New York Times Best Seller

A captivating exploration of deep time and humanity's search for purpose from the world-renowned physicist and best-selling author of The Elegant Universe

"Few humans share Greene’s mastery of both the latest cosmological science and English prose." (The New York Times)

Until the End of Time is Brian Greene's breathtaking new exploration of the cosmos and our quest to find meaning in the face of this vast expanse. Greene takes us on a journey from the big bang to the end of time, exploring how lasting structures formed, how life and mind emerged, and how we grapple with our existence through narrative, myth, religion, creative expression, science, the quest for truth, and a deep longing for the eternal. From particles to planets, consciousness to creativity, matter to meaning - Brian Greene allows us all to grasp and appreciate our fleeting but utterly exquisite moment in the cosmos.

Critic reviews

"Until the End of Time is encyclopedic in its ambition and its erudition, often heartbreaking.... A love letter to the ephemeral cosmic moment when everything is possible." (Dennis Overbye, The New York Times Book Review)

"Ambitious and utterly readable...[Greene] weaves personal stories, scientific ideas, concepts and facts into a delightful tapestry.... What is remarkable about Mr. Greene’s book is how he has delved into deep questions that not only have no simple answers but may never be settled at all." (Priyamvada Natarajan, The Wall Street Journal)

"There’s tremendous joy in witnessing a brilliant and curious mind wrestle with such profound issues. [Greene] takes readers on a remarkable journey." (John Keogh, Booklist)

A terrific View of The Big Picture

I am not as eloquent as some of the other reviewers. But appreciate this book for making me think deeply about burning existential questions such as humanity’s place in the universe, how life began and what is consciousness. He does not claim to have all of the answers but he certainly explains state of the art theories in a thoughtful and well researched way. I am a science believer not a science denier. The things he discusses have a scientific basis as confirmed by observation and mathematics. Very heady stuff.

love it

amazing book love it . It opened my mind that I sincerely lack works to describe it

Excellent physics explanations

Dr. Greene is one of the most amazing at conveying the underpinnings of our physical existence.

Eliquant and informative

I'm sure I'd still be in science if any one of my professors of long ago, were half as articulate as Brian Greene. Thanks for writing with such beauty.

very nice

I would recommend this read to anyone interested in how the world works and where we fit in

Brian gives us a real feeling for life an the universe.

The book gives me a feeling that living in the universe at this time is a wonderful thing and with this book Brian makes us conscious of this in an easy to understand way.

Disjointed

While I generally enjoyed this book, I found the content disjointed from chapter to chapter and even within some chapters. Only chapter 9 supports the title and even then it had a few missed opportunities for editing.

I generally like Greene's work but this wasn't what I expected. Thankfully he's also the narrator and he has such a good tone and enunciation, I found I could listen at speeds 1.2 & at times 1.3 and still keep up. I was glad to do it.

Very Deep Thinking

Mr. Greene's approach to looking at Man-Kind's behind, now, and forward unusual but interesting insight.

Not what I expected - better actually

I expected a book more on the topic of heady physics information. I got a book that was more focused on the idea of time and I was very happy for it. The reader is taken through the time evolution of the Universe in an easy to comprehend manner.

My background is an Earth science teacher - this book will answer many of the questions you never knew you had.
