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

3.0

This book covers some mind-bending scenarios. My favorite being the idea that the big bang might have happened because entropy sometimes "defies" the second law due to reality's vastness and it's bound to happen eventually. While I loved learning about the latest theories on time, I felt the author took too roundabout a path to get to his points. Sometimes I'd read pages into a theory (like the backwards entropy above) and still not understand whether the theory has been rejected or whether its still on the table. But if you're looking for a good history of a scientific field, this will satisfy your curiosity.
