The Fabric of the Cosmos

Wow!  This work by Brian Greene is fascinating, and, despite being written in easy to understand lay terms, it was still over my head.  Physics and I never got along well. I kept asking 'Why?' and was consistently told 'It just is...accept it as fact,' which stuck in my craw.

So, now I find myself again asking why.  Why are there so many dimensions? What caused the big bang? When will we have the ability to see the future? Why are we here/now?

  1. Attended a session with one of Greene's colleagues this weekend and am still fascinated. We are so small and insignificant, I can't help but feel relief and a sense of freedom.
