Book Description
Excerpt from The Eternity of Matter: A Series of Discussions Affirming the Eternity of Matter as a Primal Postulate The fundamental postulate must itself be self-evi dent, and not an inference from something else. The postulate is. Something must exist forever and Without beginning to exist. We may also reach it as the conclu sion of syllogistic reasoning from self-evident data, viz Nothing can begin to exist without cause for beginning to exist. Not anything can be its own cause for beginning to exist. There is existence. Therefore there is existence that did not begin to exist. A corollary from this reason ing follows; eternal existence necessarily given leaves no ground for absolute creation, so none for a creator. Eter nal and uncaused existence must forever persist in quan tity as it now is and has forever existed. And all that be comes must be of it and by it as final source and cause.

Book Description
"An accessible and engaging exploration of the mysteries of time." -Brian Greene, author of The Elegant Universe Twenty years ago, Stephen Hawking tried to explain time by understanding the Big Bang. Now, Sean Carroll says we need to be more ambitious. One of the leading theoretical physicists of his generation, Carroll delivers a dazzling and paradigm-shifting theory of time's arrow that embraces subjects from entropy to quantum mechanics to time travel to information theory and the meaning of life. From Eternity to Here is no less than the next step toward understanding how we came to exist, and a fantastically approachable read that will appeal to a broad audience of armchair physicists, and anyone who ponders the nature of our world.
