From the Edge of Time to the Infinite Future of the Universe. Paul Davies, What’s Eating the Universe? And Other Cosmic Questions, The University of Chicago Press, Chicago 2021, pp. 184

Abstract

This book written by Paul Davies — physicist, cosmologist, astrobiologist, and popular writer — is a collection of thirty very brief essays (each consisting of a few pages) about contemporary cosmology and some philosophical problems raised by the latter. The author explains “how age-old puzzles have recently been solved while startling discoveries are upending our understanding of physical reality” (p. vii). This is a journey from the edge of time to the infinite future of the universe, a popular study in cosmology, the science of the beginning and evolution of the universe.
