An interesting idea: time doesnt exist, the perception of time is simply the universe sliding down the hill of entropy. Failed to compel me, the idea of encapsulating time into instantaneous time capsules seems intuitively incorrect.
From amazon.com:
The "End of Time" devotes many pages to arguments in favour of the authors thesis, in a way that will bore the general reader but is unlikely to convince the physicist. Near the end of the book my feeling was ok ok you win, just tell me the implications, but thats the problem, the author refuses to speculate, possibly on the spurious grounds that predictions are impossible in a world without time. In summary a long, confusing and eventually a frustrating read.
