"An accessible and engaging exploration of the mysteries of time."
-Brian Greene, author of The Elegant Universe
Twenty years ago, Stephen Hawking tried to explain time by understanding the Big Bang. Now, Sean Carroll says we need to be more ambitious. One of the leading theoretical physicists of his generation, Carroll delivers a dazzling and paradigm-shifting theory of time's arrow that embraces subjects from entropy to quantum mechanics to time travel to information theory and the meaning of life.
From Eternity to Here is no less than the next step toward understanding how we came to exist, and a fantastically approachable read that will appeal to a broad audience of armchair physicists, and anyone who ponders the nature of our world.

一 什么是时间？关于这个问题，我们总是要从奥古斯丁开始。他说： What then is time? If no one asks me, I know what it is. If I wish to explain it to him who asks, I do not know. 这就是我们的切身体验。人人都在谈论时间，但是迄今为止无人能定义时间。原因不难想到：...

看到有很多人说这本书废话连篇，可以删减到200页……我只能说，对于任何一个要挑战“定理”的人而言，谨慎而小心翼翼是非常必要的。 From Eternity to Here：The Quest For The Ultimate Theory of Time这本书，看似是谈时间，实则谈论熵的内核。Sean开篇就提到时间三段论并毫...
