Cosmos fabric: space, time and texture of reality. 4th edition. Green B.

Brian Green - one of the leading physicists of our time, the author of the “elegant universe” - invites us to the next amazing journey deep into the universe, which will help us look at a completely different angle to the reality surrounding us. The book discusses fundamental issues regarding classical physics, quantum mechanics and cosmology. What is the space? Why does time have a direction? Is it possible to travel into the past? What role do symmetry and entropy play in the evolution of space? What is hidden behind dark matter? Can the Universe exist without space and time?

Green examines in detail the picture of Newton's world, the idea of ​​Mach, sets out the theory of relativity of Einstein and analyzes its contradictions with quantum mechanics. The book discusses the problems of decorated and teleportation in quantum mechanics. Many moments of the inflationary model of the universe are analyzed, the first fractions of a second after the big explosion, the problem of the horizon, the formation of galaxies. Much attention is paid to the new modern approach to explaining the picture of the world using the theory of strings of m-theoria.

Green shows that our world is very different from what common sense has taught us to. The author captivates all of us, regardless of our level of education and scientific training, on a cognitive journey to the new layers of reality, which modern physics reveals under the layer of the world familiar to us.
