Until the End of Time: Mind, Matter, and Our Search for Meaning in an Evolving Universe

　　《優雅的宇宙》作者萊恩‧格林恩最新力作，探索人類存在的意義。

　　本書溯及宇宙之初，乃至近代科技觸角所能及之處，帶領我們走過時間洪流，探索人類如何在一片混屯之際，發展心智、活出生命。

　　在這樣無常的大千世界裡，人類書寫傳說、歌頌神話、揮灑藝術、發展科學、乃至追求永生，就為了賦意義予生命；本書藉由一連串故事，為大家剝開這世界的層層面紗，宏觀闡述量子力學、意識、乃至黑洞，無一不漏。

　　讀完本書，我們能夠更清楚我們從何而生、而今為何、將向何處。然後，我們將學會珍惜倏忽即逝的現時彼刻，學會欣賞這個世界的美好。(文/博客來編譯)

　　From the world-renowned physicist and best-selling author of The Elegant Universe comes this captivating exploration of deep time and humanity's search for purpose.

　　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 narrative, myth, religion, creative expression, science, the quest for truth, and our longing for the eternal. Through a series of nested stories that explain distinct but interwoven layers of reality--from 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. With this grand tour of the universe, beginning to end, Brian Greene allows us all to grasp and appreciate our fleeting but utterly exquisite moment in the cosmos.
