Ultimate Explanations of the Universe

"We humans are collectively driven by a powerful, yet not fully explained, instinct to understand. This book examines how far our modern cosmological theories, with their sometimes audacious models, such as inflation, cyclic histories, quantum creation, parallel universes, can take us towards answering their questions. Can such theories lead us to ultimate truth, leaving nothing unexplained? Heller addresses the thorny problem of why and whether we should expect to find theories with all-encompassing explicative power."--[book cover].
