Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
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.
In both time and space, the cosmos is astoundingly vast and yet is governed by simple, elegant, universal mathematical laws. On this cosmic time line, our human era is spectacular but fleeting. Someday, we know, we will all die. And, we know, so too will the universe itself.
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 story, myth, religion, creative expression, science, the quest for truth and our longing for the timeless or eternal.
Through a series of nested stories that explain distinct but interwoven layers of reality - from the 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.
Yet all this understanding, which arose with the emergence of life, will dissolve with its conclusion. Which leaves us with one realisation: during our brief moment in the sun, we are tasked with the charge of finding our own meaning. Let us embark.

Cathartic and enlightening
Brian Greene once again succeeds in capturing the childish curiosity that still lurks in everyone. This book is a fascinating dive into what the future may hold for our universe and how that fate relates to us as humans.

Engaging story of the experience of life
A material view of life the universe and everything. While the science is purely empirical and the author maintains a materialists view of life’s consciousness, it’s hard not to hear the author alluding to something deeply missing, beyond what can not be empirically investigated by the current human mind. Well worth the time engaging with the author’s immense knowledge and insight.

Thought provoking and interesting
For those interested in physics and cosmology at a lay level and how the laws of physics can or can be used to explain the Universe and time this is a very good listen. Brian Greene narrates his book with enthusiasm and with clarity. It got a little repetitive towards the final chapters but overall was a great book and well worth the time. Most enjoyable.

Not the usual Greene
If you are after some hard science at the bleeding edge of knowledge- this is NOT your book. Greene goes off in philosophical musings in this book. With only a minor sprinkling of science.
Not bad. But I personally would have preferred he plays to his strengths of cosmology. Not philosophical ideations on death, consciousness, life etc

Brilliant mix of science and philosophy.
A bit slow in places but persist as Greene builds his thinking.
So much inspiring insights into physics, multiverses, consciousness and infinity.

Encyclopaedic philosophy of science.
The is a thought provoking walk through physics, philosophy of mind and existence.
It will not appeal to any that view philosophy as unimportant as it requires a willingness to venture beyond the edge of what is known.
A worthwhile listen, and I have just ordered the paperback because a have readers in the house that don’t do audiobooks.

Clever author just too compacted
Content interesting but the author presents way too much information too word-economically. Not a relaxing listen - you have to really apply yourself and think hard. I personally couldn’t be bothered- I do too much of that for work
