This book by Berkeley physicist Richard Muller is a combination of very interesting and disappointing. The main goal of the book is to provide an overview of a new theory of the generation of time that Muller has proposed. According to Muller, just like space expands as the universe expands, so does time. Thus, when the Big Bang occurred, along with new space new time was also created, and new time continues to be created even as the expansion of the universe is accelerating.This is a very interesting and in fact fascinating hypothesis. Muller even provides some preliminary, testable experimental hypotheses of the hypothesis: always a mark of a good scientist. Unfortunately this theory constitutes only about 30% of the book. The rest of the book is devoted to building up to the theory and then indulging rather superficially in philosophical concepts that don't really seem to have much of a connection to the main thesis.The first part of the book which explains relativity, thermodynamics and quantum theory is on a sound footing. What I like about Muller is that he is not afraid to be opinionated and to point out common misunderstandings that both students and experts have (for example, he dispels the common misunderstanding that in relativity, different observers "disagree" on the properties of different events). The part on thermodynamics is actually quite illuminating, especially when Muller comes down hard on Arthur Eddington's thesis that entropy drives the arrow of time from the past to the future. Muller tells us that the connection between entropy and time both increasing has been presented to us by biased events like eggs and teacups breaking. But as he says, teacups can also be built up, and even this event - which involves a decrease and not increase in entropy - is correlated with an increase in time. Thus, Eddington's correlation between entropy increase and time is just that, a correlation that does not have experimental support and does not make testable predictions. Eddington seems to have misled several generations of science writers, students and physicists. I had not quite appreciated this fact.So far so good, but the last third of the book then sort of unravels as Muller flits from one philosophical topic to another. Many of these seem dimly connected to the book's main proposal, and I also found some of the sentence constructions rather clumsy. These include free will, souls and empathy, and Muller mostly recycles stuff that other people have said (the one interesting thing that he says is that faster-than-light travel would violate free will because effects could then precede causes); his treatment of these topics is rather superficial in my opinion and the style is quite rambling. He comes back to what he calls the '4D Big Bang' suddenly at the end of the book.Overall I think this book is valuable and at times even highly provocative for its presentation of the uncertain connection between entropy and the 'arrow of time' and for its novel idea of the creation of new time. Those chapters are very much worth reading. But the rest of the book is more like a haphazard stream of consciousness exploring topics whose connection to the physics is not really clear. Muller is a truly outstanding scientist who has massively contributed to physics and physics education (several of his students have won Nobel Prizes) over three decades, a restless intellect and a fine teacher, but this book may not showcase the best of all these qualities.
The promos for this book make it sound as if it's for the general reading public. Well, it's not. There are equations and references to equations throughout. Muller skips over many difficult ideas without sufficient explanation, and these really need to be explained more thoroughly to a novice reader in the field of physics.Also there are many digressions (do we really need to know how he decided to name his daughter?). In other places, where he needs to build his arguments carefully, he doesn't do it.Here’s a passage from the middle of the book to demonstrate what I mean: “The vacuum contains energy. It can be polarized; that is, it responds to an electric field by separating its “virtual†charges. That polarization can be detected and measured by looking at the energy levels in the hydrogen atom (through something called the Lamb shift) and can be detected directly by the force the vacuum can exert on metal plates (the Casmir effect).†But Muller doesn’t explain the Lamb shift and he doesn’t explain the Casimir effect. I do know what some of these terms mean from reading other books, but I was lost in the woods anyway.If you understand the above passage, then this is an appropriate book for you. If not, look elsewhere.I did think Muller made some interesting points in the second half of the book, and I like that he’s willing to question the common wisdom in physics, e.g. the dogma of physicalism and the madcap rush of others to embrace string theory and MWI.I thought the digression on souls and empathy was inappropriate for a book like this. But Muller is certainly the go-to guy for science fiction movies and series! He must have seen every one.I'd recommend THE GOLDILOCKS ENIGMA (Paul Davies) or THE ELEGANT UNIVERSE by Brian Greene which are better introductions to some of these mind blowing concepts.
