place for humanity in the worldview described by modern science. Greene shows how the cosmos, with its galaxies, stars, planets, and ultimately life, unfolds in the struggle between two great forces—entropy and evolution.

How can we comprehend the meaning of life in the chilling prospect of trillions of years in the future, where any thought is ultimately destined to fade away? Greene does not always have ready answers, but the scientific context makes the search for them an incomparably more interesting endeavor.
