From Eternity to Here
How the hell else is he to make abstruse and -- let's face it -- oftentimes pretty bizarre ideas accessible to a non-specialist readership? Comprised of three thematic stories, each theme explores the timeless purpose of our God and His plan and mission for the church. The puzzle is that at the microscopic level the fundamental laws of physics are perfectly reversible, so why does the Second Law of thermodynamics hold in every situation that we know of?
Most of the book is spent explaining the basic concepts he uses to make his case. A man from a family of rich snobs becomes engaged to a woman from a good-natured but decidedly eccentric family. Carroll obviously wishes he was Brian Greene. I looked up books about time after seeing one of the Through the Wormhole shows on Science Channel. By the end of the book, not only did I have a much better picture of time, but also of how a multiverse would work, and it really does make sense. A good friend of mine, who recently got his PhD. The best feature of the book was the honest admission by the author of ideas that have been robustly tested and verified, as well as those which are yet to be accepted by scientists. Ok, it is a bit about each of these subjects, but it is essentially about why we have this concept. What do you expect from a discursive (i.e., non mathematical) treatment of so complex a topic? Had to skim the second half of it.Simply the best popular physics book I've ever read.
In places.
Challenging. The book is about time.
Carroll isn't afraid to dive into the unknown and speculate wildly, but he makes sure to acknowledge it when that is the case. For the first 500 pages or so (in the iBook version), I was enthralled by Carroll's exceptional ability to lay down the fundamentals of physics and cosmology in clear, straightforward language with simple but highly effective illustrations. A poor boy gets a job working for his rich uncle and ends up falling in love with two women.
Why did our part of the universe pass though a period of such low entropy?” Again, my low-star confreres, why the #%^* did you botBrilliant.
Pay close attention to the word "Quest" in the subtitle. A middle-aged butcher and a school teacher who have given up on the idea of love meet at a dance and fall for each other. From Here to Eternity is a 1953 American drama romance war film directed by Fred Zinnemann, and written by Daniel Taradash, based on the 1951 novel of the same name by James Jones. But come on, low star reviewers.
He told me it was very good to get a better understanding of the Universe and the role of (the arrow of) time in it. The book starts with an introduction to possible definitions of what time is, the role of entropy, and the Second Law of Thermodynamics. I can see how it might be a great book for folks that haven't really read anything about the basics of physics before, because I do feel like he's explaining things pretty clearly, but I'm not really getting anything out of it, other than annoyed. By the time you've finished reading it you may not fully understand what time is or why it points in the direction it does, but you'll understand well why cosmologists pose these questions in the first place and where answers to them may one day lie. I think that the author is not that good at explaining the concepts that he wants to explain. It was in a state of very low entropy, very high order. His unconventional ideas true or not were thought provoking. If you are interested in understanding the current state of thinking about what time is, the origins of the universe, and similar topics the author's writing is excellent and the copious footnotes helpful. I join the ranks of 5-star readers who were completely wowed by the results.This book is a through and frequently tedious exploration for a theory of time. The author makes heavy use of metaphor? Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account. FROM ETERNITY TO HERE Deep within God’s Word lies a wondrous story like no other. This time around I listened to an audiobook version of the same book. Things become more complicated when two of them fall in love with the same woman. He is not. I’m not sure about Sean Carroll’s skills as a scientist, but I have little praise for his talents as a writer.Science and journalism are two very different disciplines and require a different set of skill sets. Most of the book is spent explaining the basic concepts he uses to make his case. For the first 500 pages or so (in the iBook version), I was enthralled by Carroll's exceptional ability to lay down the fundamentals of physics and cosmology in clear, straightforward language with simple but highly effective illustrations. I can see how it might be a great book for folks that haven't really read anything about the basics of physics before, because I do feel like he's explaining things pretty clearly, but I'm not really getting anything out of it, other than annoyed. I had to read from other sourcesI had the same feeling. I think listening to an audio version slowed me down a bit to think more about Carroll's ideas and get a deeper insight into the book.
But due to his intelligence, Clift also informed his characters with a sense of purpose. I found it fascinating, but those without a strong interest in physics may not. A reporter pretends to be Jewish in order to cover a story on anti-Semitism, and personally discovers the true depths of bigotry and hatred.
The second law of thermodynamics states that, in a closed system, entropy can either stay the same or increase--it cannot decrease. Sean Carroll really does his best to explain the basic issues of theoretical physics in a comprehensible and pleasant way. This books poses many questions that don't have answers yet and instead focuses on the various theories that currently exist. Amateur cosmologists & people w/ "time" on their handsUnlike my usual practice since joining GoodReads, I very deliberately did not take notes while reading Unlike my usual practice since joining GoodReads, I very deliberately did not take notes while reading Not for the faint of heart.
