Davies explores unanswered questions such as: \u003cbr\u003e * Does the universe have a beginning and an end?\u003cbr\u003e * Is the passage of time merely an illusion?\u003cbr\u003e * Is it possible to travel backward -- or forward -- in time? \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAbout Time\u003c\/i\u003e weaves physics and metaphysics in a provocative contemplation of time and the universe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eDavies, Paul:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003ePAUL DAVIES\u003c\/b\u003e is Director of the Beyond Center at Arizona State University and the bestselling author of more than twenty books.
