Fascinating Read!

This is the first book I have really enjoyed in a while. I love the connections the author makes between ancient religious beliefs about the origin of the universe and modern theories. The explanations of scientific laws and concepts were clear and easy to understand. The book was fun and interesting. I hope to read it an infinite number of times and, if what some ancient religions predict about time is true, I probably will.
