The Big Bang is all but dead, and we do not yet know what will replace it. Our universe's beginning is at an end. What does this have to do with us here on Earth? Our lives are about to be dramatically shaken againas altered as they were with the invention of the clock, the steam engine, the railroad, the radio and the Internet.
In The End of the Beginning, Adam Frank explains how the texture of our lives changes along with our understanding of the universe's origin. Since we awoke to self-consciousness fifty thousand years ago, our lived experience of timefrom hunting and gathering to the development of agriculture to the industrial revolution to the invention of Outlook calendarshas been transformed and rebuilt many times. But the latest theories in cosmology time with no beginning, parallel universes, eternal inflationare about to send us in a new direction.

He looks at the way our engagement with the world our inventions, our habits and morehas allowed us to discover the nature of the universe and how those discoveries, in turn, inform our daily experience.
