Chapter Overview

Description

The Janus Point (2020) is a provocative, new take on the origins of time and the fate of the universe. Today, most physicists believe that the universe as we know it began with the big bang. But there may be a different possibility – that the big bang wasn’t the beginning of time, but merely a very special point in the history of our cosmos.

Who Should Listen

  • Big-picture thinkers who love exploring fundamental questions about the universe
  • People who are fascinated – but may sometimes feel intimidated – by physics
  • Anyone who enjoys delving into complex and abstract theories
