Space and time form the very fabric of the cosmos. Yet they remain among the most mysterious of concepts. Is space an entity? Why does time have a direction? Could the universe exist without space and time? Can we travel to the past? Brian Greene's new book goes on sale February 10. The Fabric of the Cosmos : Space, Time, and the Texture of Reality |
