UNTIL THE END OF TIME Mind, Matter, and Our Search for Meaning in an Evolving Universe

Renowned theoretical physicist Brian Greene has an engaging voice; he uses it well as he takes listeners on a tour of the cosmos from its first moments to its last. He comes across as gentle, persuasive, and caring as he describes the deepest layers of particle physics and temporal reality, covering an astounding realm of human and cosmic endeavor, macro and micro. His point of view is mechanistic; he eliminates free will (for example) and visions of the Divine--we are bags of fundamental particles, which disperse upon our deaths, nothing more. But as he discourses about human activities such as the arts, he paints as positive an outlook as possible. To listen to this is to learn, agree or not.
