Book Review: About Adam Frank's Time

In this highly acclaimed book, Adam Frank was first published in 2011, depicting changes in the concept of the times and showing how the human experience of time in social and cultural life shaped his understanding of the universe. Many discussions began around the nature of the Big Bang and the time of the hypothesis, and astrophysicists debated many hidden dimensions and a large number of invisible "black matter" to satisfy their complex mathematical speculations. Now that the Big Bang itself has become part of the popular scientific understanding, it is now being questioned. Perhaps the most surprising thing for non-professional readers is that physicists are still interested in the nature of time, and some even suspect its existence.

Since they were discovered, Newton's law, which uses time as the fourth dimension, has achieved such great success, and they have guided Apollo's mission to the moon. Einstein has shown that time varies with the speed of the observer, slowing down to zero at the speed of light, but at a relatively moderate speed at the Saturn rocket is negligible. Astronomical bodies, galaxies and stars move much faster, and the effect of speed on time cannot be ignored. There is no doubt that the universe is expanding and more and more problems remain unresolved. How did all this start? Is time associated with the physical dimensions of the universe, from the same moment of the Big Bang, or is it independent? Is there one before our current universe and there will be one later?

Some physicists believe that the Big Bang is just one of a series of repetitive universes. Teachers used to tell their students that only one physical law is certain: the second law of thermodynamics. This law, simply called entropy, tends to increase, meaning that order will degenerate into disorder, temperature differences will disappear, and everything will be at a uniform low temperature. The second law has the effect of increasing the duration of each successive cycle when applied to the possibility of expanding the repetitive cycle of the universe. In retrospect, the length of the cycle is reduced to zero, as Frank said, "Entropy forces a circular universe to begin."

Despite careful consideration, manipulation of equations and introduction of hidden dimensions, physicists have not been able to find a complete explanation of the origin of the universe. Some theories hold that multiple universes coexist, each universe has different laws of physics, and our universe is happening, with only the right conditions to support life. The existence of our universe is affirmative. This is the conclusion of Frank's argument: "We have always been the co-creators of the time we live with us and the universe." For Frank, the process of discovery is not the result of imagination, but possible Will last for a long time.
