Nothing so pervades our existence and yet is so difficult to explain. But now, in a series of 24 riveting lectures, you can grasp exactly why - as you take a mind-expanding journey through the past, present, and future, guided by a noted author and scientist. Designed for nonscientists as well as those with a background in physics, the lectures show how a feature of the world that we all experience - a process known as entropy - connects us to the instant of the formation of the universe, and possibly to a multiverse that is unimaginably larger and more varied than the known cosmos. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on such exciting ideas as black holes, cosmic inflation, and dark energy, the lectures also address a momentous question that until recently was considered unanswerable: What happened before the big bang? And while the focus is on physics, Professor Carroll also examines philosophical views on time, how we perceive and misperceive time, the workings of memory, and serious proposals for time travel, as well as imaginative ways that time has been disrupted in fiction. \"What is time?\" asked Saint Augustine 1,600 years ago. \"If no one asks me, I know. But if I wish to explain it to someone who asks, I know not.\" These lectures will move you much closer to an answer.\u003cbr\u003eFor DVD Player (North American NTSC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"The Teaching Company","offers":[{"title":"Used In Sleeve","offer_id":49084358328598,"sku":"66840","price":10.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/0377\/1710\/files\/202496195335319scan.jpg?v=1726011933","url":"https:\/\/www.neverdiemedia.com\/products\/the-great-courses-mysteries-of-modern-physics-time-4-disc-set","provider":"NeverDieMedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
