From Eternity to Here : The Quest for the Ultimate Theory of Time

from HumbleOpinion

This is more of a layperson's book than I expected. The first 3/4 of the book rehashes your high school and college physics, and then it proposes some speculative ideas to explain the low entropy of the early universe. However, the speculative ideas (I'm trying avoid spoilers) are not new. That w...

A good read...please take the time to grasp what is being said...this is not for a first timer in my opinion. You need at least a base understanding of the concepts of space-time and relativity (it would help to understand basic cosmology too).  Now I'm not saying that this is meant for a PhD can...

from DLMorrese

Ostensibly this book is about time and why it goes only one way. Mostly, it's about entropy, and it's a bit repetitive, and not as elucidating as one might hope. I think it may be intended primarily for those working or studying in the areas of cosmology or quantum field theory rather than laymen...

The book starts out with an understandable discussion. Toward the end I started to get lost and disinterested. Note: I have a PhD in engineering and taught physics. I appreciate that Sean is an expert in theoretical physics and has written an interesting book.

Good explanations and examples of entropy. A little repetitive, but that may be necessary to get complex concepts across to the educated lay reader.
