Books like Until the End of Time by Brian Greene

Stephen Hawking explains the fundamental physics of the universe—space, time, cosmology, black holes, and the Big Bang—in clear, accessible language.

Lawrence Krauss explores how a universe can arise from nothing, tracing the cosmos from the Big Bang to its eventual end, and examines the philosophical implications of a God‑free explanation for existence.

Brian Greene unpacks the idea that our universe might be one of many, exploring the scientific theories and philosophical implications of the multiverse.

In *Lost in Math*, Sabine Hossenfelder critiques the blind faith in elegance that has stalled progress in physics, urging a return to empirical reality.

How Long is Now? asks and answers mind‑bending questions about time, the human body, and the universe, from the quantum limits of perception to the mysteries of black holes, all explained with engaging science and quirky curiosity.

A rigorous exploration of how modern scientific advances reshape our philosophical notions of space, time, and causality.

Two physicists—one Western, one Eastern—debate whether scientific models truly reflect reality or merely mirror cultural biases, exploring philosophy, cosmology, and the impact of Eastern and Western thought on science.

An examination of the physical origin of time’s direction, focusing on radiation, thermodynamics, quantum indeterminism and spacetime structure, and proposing a common root in the universe’s time‑independent wave function.

"You are reading the word 'now' right now. But what does that mean? What makes the ephemeral moment 'now' so special? Its enigmatic character has bedeviled philosophers, priests, and modern-day physicists from Augustine to Einstein and beyond. Einstein showed that the flow of time is affected by both velocity and gravity, yet he despaired at his failure to explain the meaning of 'now.' Equally puzzling: Why does time flow? Some physicists have given up trying to understand, and call the flow of time an illusion, but the eminent experimental physicist Richard A. Muller protests. He says physics should explain reality, not deny it. In Now, Muller does more than poke holes in past ideas; he crafts his own revolutionary theory, one that makes testable predictions. He begins by laying out--with the refreshing clarity that made Physics for Future Presidents so successful--a firm and remarkably clear explanation of the physics building blocks of his theory: relativity, entropy, entanglement, antimatter, and the Big Bang. With the stage then set, he reveals a startling way forward. Muller points out that the standard Big Bang theory explains the ongoing expansion of the universe as the continuous creation of new space. He argues that time is also expanding and that the leading edge of the new time is what we experience as 'now.' This thought-provoking vision has remarkable implications for some of our biggest questions not only in physics but also in philosophy--including the ongoing debate about the reality of free will. Moreover, his theory is testable. Muller's monumental work will spark major debate about the most fundamental assumptions of our universe, and may crack one of the longest-standing enigmas in physics"--Dust jacket.

A groundbreaking book that challenges the very notion of time

Werner Landgraf proposes a theory in which the universe originates from an internally affirming act, giving rise to time, space, natural forces, and the laws of logic, geometry, and physics.
