Synopsis
'Why is there a world rather than nothing at all?' remains the most curious and most enduring of all metaphysical mysteries. The author traces all our efforts to grasp the origins of the universe. As he pieces together a solution - while offering useful insights into time, consciousness, and eternity - he sheds light on the meaning of existence.
