From eternity to here : the quest for the ultimate theory of time / Sean Carroll

by Sean B. Carroll

This work explores why time moves forward by examining the properties of spacetime and conditions prior to the Big Bang. It considers the role of entropy and the theoretical existence of a multiverse where the arrow of time may function differently.
