Briefest History Of Time, The: The History Of Histories Of Time And The Misconstrued Association Between Entropy And Time

The History of Histories of Time and the Misconstrued Association between Entropy and Time

Omschrijving

This book considers the history of time and how entropy and the second law of thermodynamics are not related to time, and it critiques popular science books on time by Stephen Hawking (A Brief History of Time and A Briefer History of Time), Sean Carroll (From Eternity to Here: The Quest for the Ultimate Theory of Time), and Paul Frampton (Did Time Begin? Will Time End?). It addresses what time is; what the history of something is, using examples such as the history of mankind, beauty, and the theory of evolution; brief histories of space and time; and entropy and the second law of thermodynamics and their relationship to time. Annotation ©2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com The aim of this book is to explain in simple language what we know about time and about the history of time. It is shown that the briefest (as well as the lengthiest) history of time can be described in one or two pages.
